    Sure, but that doesn’t stop if from being a replacement for normal plastic in situations where water permeability isn’t a problem. I’d prefer this replace at least some conventional plastics, wouldn’t you? Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good here.

      I often see comments like that where unless it’s a 100% solution in all situations it’s pointless.

        Except bio-plastics have been around a long time. I remember a Beyond 2000 show about packing peanuts made from corn starch that dissolved in water. They never caught on because they dissolve in water. Imagine your package gets rained on and you get your item in an empty, gooey box.
