Novel plastic disintegrates in a week in sunlight and oxygen
Uses :
Drinking straws
Disposable medical stuff (syringes, pads, etc...)
Shopping bags
Food and Product packaging
Being very old, I can remember that in my youth, drinking straws were made of waxed paper. It would bio-degrade very well. But guess what ? You sucked and the juice came up, just the same as the plastic ones !!!
