Biodegradable plastic can take a lot of time to decompose and often breaks down to inorganic materials. Compostable plastic is better in that respect though more expensive to produce and as it is less stable, has fewer uses. Even if we use either of these materials, we are still encouraging single use consumption. Better to replace, reduce and reuse
