    I’m sorry for the naivety, maybe there is something cool I’m not catching.

    Haven’t we had biodegradable, compostable “plastic” shopping bags for like 20 years now? What’s the news here?

      Probably that it’s based on corn-waste. Most I’ve seen are sugar-cane based. US grows a lot more corn than sugar cane.
