A company in Colorado has come up with a water bottle for their spring water that totally biodegrades in about 80 days. It’s a type of plastic made from corn.

You can watch the time-elapsed video on their site (just make sure your window is wide enough - the time-elapsed part is on the far right).

Corn based plastic…I’m just curious about what starts the decomposition to occur…how long is the shelf life of the bottle…Welcome to CrzyLand
