This assumes that the cups can withstand storage and transport, and that they can withstand liquids being held in them. I have my doubts that an extremely biodegradable material could manage that. Further, I really doubt the 50 day number is accurate to begin with, which is why I mentioned that a piece of bamboo doesn’t break down in 50 days in the soil.
Of course they can withstand storage and transport, biodegradable cups aren’t a new concept lmao, we just keep it wrapped in plastic until it’s needed.
And before anyone thinks they’re incredibly clever for pointing out “haha so you’re still using plastic”, obviously that’s a vastly smaller quantity of plastic than if you make the cups out of it.
