Biodegradable plastics are made from renewable resources, break down faster without being toxic, and require less energy to produce. In contrast, other plastics are not eco-friendly as they are made from non-renewable resources, do not break down, are toxic, and have a higher energy cost for production. This document compares biodegradable plastics favorably to traditional plastics in terms of sustainability.
