I use biodegradable plastic shotgun wads (for reloading your own shell, the bit you stuff inside that goes flying away). A bag of 500 was $1 extra, I think, vs. regular plastic?
So either the claim is boolshit and they’re not biodegradable, or these companies could do this at very little cost and are saving pennies per unit? And I would think the extra cost could be recouped with some marketing. “OUR shit breaks down! We’re GREEN!”
Somebody make it make sense. I really don’t know what to think.
Those claims of biodegradable on plastic items mean they can break down in an industrial process, which there few of in the world. Its totally misleading.
You think a shotgun wad that can biodegrade could be used to contain soda, not change its taste, and not leech any chemicals that are bad (more bad) for you and hold it under pressure?

Totally.
Well no, it’s bullshit but not for that reason. They don’t want to have to repackage, retool and lose long term storage capability.
They could go back to glass then, and they keep long storage while satisfying recyclability
Ideally yeah.
