Answer:

Bioplastics can be biobased and/or compostable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Other bioplastics are completely biodegradable/compostable , but are made with fossil materials. Whether a material can biodegrade or be accepted at a compost facility does not depend on its origin (renewable or fossil).

Hope this helps!!
