If much of the methane emitted from landfills is result of decomposition of organics then won’t bioplastics in large-scale actually create more environmental damage if left in open landfills? It seems that thorough waste-management/gassification methods would need to come along before that shift can be helpful environmentally.

This team seems to have the technology but I haven’t received responses from them about how their projects are going. Also, can someone tell me what “commencement of a tender offer” means please. http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS129311+07-Jul-2009+PRN20090707

The question is how to best manage and minimize the damage done.

Bio plastics are important from this standpoint.

I, for one, have no interest in living in a cave and doing raising my own food. Most other people are like me in that regard.
