QUESTIONS ABOUT CORN BASED PLASTIC

[HEX BLACKTHORNE]

HEX WAS WONDERING IF CORN BASED PLASTIC WAS BIODEGRADABLE?

IF SO DOES THAT MEAN IT CANNOT BE USED FOR MORE DURABLE PURPOSES LIKE PATIO FURNITURE AND JOAN RIVERS?

HEX HOPES YOU, THE CORN PRODUCERS OF SC, CAN ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

FOR SOME REASON, I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF THIS AS THE 'CORN CAR' BUT IT WAS REALLY MADE FROM HEMP, WHICH COULD HAVE A DIFFERENT SORT OF BIODEGRADABILITY :bong:

"To make plastic packaging and containers from a renewable resource that can be returned to the earth as fertilizer sounds like an unmitigated good. Selling fruits and veggies in boxes that don’t leach chemicals into landfills sounds equally wonderful. But PLA has considerable drawbacks that haven’t been publicized, while some claims for its environmental virtues are downright misleading. It turns out there’s no free lunch after all, regardless of what its container is made of..."

BEEZLE SUGGESTS THAT HEX NOT EAT CORN-BASED PLASTIC WHETHER IT IS BIODEGRADABLE OR NO.
