    And it’s actually compostable in regular conditions instead of needing an industrial facility like other bioplastics.

    Bury it in soil and it biodegrades in 50 days, which is pretty groundbreaking if it can scale

      This is the question. If it can get close to plastic levels of price and quantity, it will take over. If it’s too expensive, it won’t happen.
