I use plastic containers in a number of ways. They used to work great but since the new 'biodegradable plastics' come in, the new plastics only last a couple months then they break ibto powder plastics!

I don't if I like this 'biodegradability'. In a way they are still plastics (smaller polymers) not getting "used" by Nature. (Smaller plastics pieces are much harder to 'collect' and 'destroy'.

The I read about 'Bees making use of small oieces of plastics in their hives! My head spun! What is happening here? We are to eat plastic honey and plastic wax? What about the young bees -- a new generation of plastic bees? ( As I said my head spun ;-)
