Ditch plastic.
On Friday January 8, 2021 we launched an experiment: How long does our bioplastic bag can take to biodegrade into soils?
Here are facts about biodegradable we should all know:
How Biodegradable are Bioplastics?
Since there is often confusion when talking about bioplastics, let's clarify some terms first.
Degradable: All plastic is degradable, even traditional plastic, but just because it can be broken down into tiny fragments or powder does not mean the materials will ever return to nature. Some additives to traditional plastics make them degrade more quickly. Photodegradable plastic breaks down more readily in sunlight; oxo-degradable plastic disintegrates more quickly when exposed to heat and light.
Biodegradable: Biodegradable plastic can be broken down completely into water, carbon dioxide, and compost by microorganisms under the right conditions. "Biodegradable" implies that the decomposition happens within weeks or months. Bioplastics that don't biodegrade quickly are called "durable," and some bioplastics that are made from biomass which cannot easily be broken down by microorganisms are considered non-biodegradable.
Compostable: Compostable plastic will biodegrade in a compost site. Microorganisms break it down into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass at the same rate as other organic materials in the compost pile, leaving no toxic residue.

Even the most remote depths of the Pacific Ocean researchers have found to be polluted with plastic. In the most pristine, untouched parts of the world like the polar regions of the Antarctic and High Arctic—there’s plastic. Plastic is everywhere. And the fibres are as narrow as a human red blood cell, according to studies by @patagonia and @oceanwise’s plastic lab.
Much of our planet’s microplastic problem is a plastic clothing problem. Synthetic clothing is a huge cause of plastic pollution in the ocean. Acrylic, polyester, and nylon are the biggest culprits. According to @theguardian, acrylic is the worst offender, releasing nearly 730,000 tiny synthetic particles per wash, five times more than polyester-cotton blend fabric, and nearly 1.5 times as many as polyester.

Happy Halloween! Just to help get you in the spirit, here’s some scary information: 99.8% of plastic waste found in the ocean ends up on the sea floor, mostly in the form of micro plastics.
Ain’t she pretty? Straight out of a horror film, the female deep sea anglerfish is quite possibly the ugliest creature in the deep blue sea and can be found over a mile below the surface—surviving in a world void of sunlight.
Near the sea floor—deep in the dark, lonely, bottom of the ocean—lurks this carnivorous creature who seeks out their next meal by enticing their prey with a natural lure made of luminous flesh. (Actually, their mouths are so big and their bodies so pliable and stomachs so expandable they can swallow up to two times their own size.)
Fun fact: After finding a female, in many cases the male angler bites and latches on and never lets go. A modern day vampire story...
