What is your standing regarding compostable plastics? Is it really environmental-friendly?​

If a biodegradable plastic or bioplastic ends up in a landfill site it will never decompose. In landfill sites waste is essentially mummified, in a complete absence of light and oxygen. Food that has ended up in landfill will not biodegrade, so there is no hope for biodegradable plastics or even bioplastics.So it is bad.
