Doesn't biodegrade is good. I may have said this before; if so, sorry. But
people working on polymers from biomass often seem to want to make the polymers
biodegradable. This sounds all very eco-friendly. But it isn't, in fact,
because non-biodegradable polymers lock up carbon for good.
Best thing to do is to make lots of things from them and chuck 'em in a landfill...
