What is the problem with such terms as biodegradable and photodegradable?
Although green-advertising claims such as biodegradable and photodegradable sound good, they arent always true. Plastics labeled biodegradable due to the addition of starch simply disintegrate into tiny non-degradable pieces after the starch has been degraded. Photodegradable plastics cannot be broken down in garbage cans or landfills because their degradation requires sunlight.
