"The Philippines is the second-largest producer of coconuts in the world. An estimated 9 billion husks are burned or left to rot here every year. Fortuna Cools makes coolers out of that waste, instead of the commonly used expanded polystyrene foam, often incorrectly called "styrofoam." We make more than 14 million tons of this hard-to-recycle plastic every year."

i've found biodegradable pants now, thankfully.

Fun fact. They're now selling #Tea Bags with the word "#biodegradable" printed on the Box (true story in the #UK).

That's not green tea wash; some brands of Tea bags have always been biodegradable. So, that's educational marketing because the information is a fact (not an incorrect opinion. AKA not misinformation or disinformation)

Those #biodegradable #plastic bags? They’re probably no better than oil-based plastic for reducing #microplastic #pollution.

https://chemtrust.org/news/biodegradable-plastics-marine-impacts/

Quote: “…biodegradable plastics may be as toxic as conventional fossil fuel-based plastics and contain similar types and amounts of chemicals of concern… biodegradable plastics are reported to only break down in industrial or controlled composting conditions, and persist in marine environments for many years with close to no biodegradation.”

Meanwhile, in "a pox on all things plastic" news...

Researchers at Western have worked with industry partner CTK Bio Canada to develop a new biodegradable, hemp-based material that they say could serve as a sustainable substitute for product packaging needs.

Makes me wonder if there'll be just one thing that ends up replacing plastic or many?

(My guess is many.)

YES! Seaweed is awesome.

Scientists at the University of Sussex have used seaweed to develop biodegradable health sensors that could be applied like a "second skin" and have been shown to outperform existing synthetic based hydrogels and nanomaterials in terms of sensitivity.

Bring on the edible electronics!
