Developed by researchers from China's Northeast Forestry University, the bamboo plastic can biodegrade in soil within 50 days and offers a pathway towards sustainable plastic alternatives.
This assumes that the cups can withstand storage and transport, and that they can withstand liquids being held in them. I have my doubts that an extremely biodegradable material could manage that. Further, I really doubt the 50 day number is accurate to begin with, which is why I mentioned that a piece of bamboo doesn’t break down in 50 days in the soil.
