RE: [GreenYes] FYI -- article on Australian bioplastic developments

Looks like this stuff breaks down pretty easily. Do the experts out there think it would break down in a landfill environment?

My other question...if this stuff catches on and starts to replace conventional plastics, and it increases the demand for the production of genetically modified corn...then what?
