So what's the scoop on bio-degradable plastics? Biodegradable plastics are plastics made from renewable sources such as corn, corn starch or cellulose, and when given the right conditions can breakdown into harmless natural compounds, therefore taking pressure off of landfills. As a result, more and more businesses, schools, event planners, and even caterers are considering using biodegradable plastics in their cafeterias or for their special events.
