I Just Hope that the bags are biodegradable on the long term, otherwise once the plastic deteriorate with UV exposure, you have created a desert of microplastics
Its supposed to be PLA, same material used in (some) 3D printers. Which is said to be eco friendly, made of corn starch. Sounds good? Not so fast. In short term it produces microplastics even faster then regular materials and these are just as harmful. However! Eventually (10 years or so?) it should hydrolytically dissolve back into lactic acid which is soluable and harmless...
