    Yes. And many plastics that are biodegradable do not. Because biodegradable means degradable in a hot compost. Not the ground.

      The terminology is fucked (bcs megacorps), a lot of eg “biodegradable” cups aren’t compostable bcs they contain some plastic particles (which aren’t in fact biodegradable).
