In addition, some bioplastics produce methane gas when they decompose, a compound with a global warming potential 25 times that of CO2. It’s because they need specific manmade conditions to biodegrade, and many degrade into microplastics, which contaminate our oceans and food chain for centuries”.

All materials do this, even plastics, which break down into what we call microplastics – i.e. plastic particles smaller than 5mm. Biodegradable Straws Reduce Microplastics at Sea and on Land. We call these microplastics – and they have reached some of the most remote parts of the world. As such, it’s not a very precise term.
