Biodegradable Plastics Research

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in bioplastics with a new form of cellulose diacetate (CDA) that degrades 15 times faster than traditional forms.
Researchers at the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have been investigating for years to find out what types of plastics have the shortest and longest lifespans in the ocean, and what types of plastic products, such as straws and food wrappers, most commonly contribute to plastic pollution. With more biodegradable materials being developed, like cellulose diacetate (CDA)—a plastic-like polymer derived from wood pulp—researchers are racing to ensure they can replace traditional plastics without damaging marine ecosystems.
The sea and marine fauna thank you

The only problem is will this biodegradeable stuff be inexpensive.?
