Developed by researchers from China's Northeast Forestry University, the bamboo plastic can biodegrade in soil within 50 days and offers a pathway towards sustainable plastic alternatives.
if it enters eco system back, its biodegradation. more technically, biodegradation just means breaking polymers by biological processes. most of the times, it either means hydrolysis (usually breaking ester/amide linkages) or oxidation (so producing acid from alcohol, or producing co2 in end). all carbon in body “eventually” becomes co2, so it is not a problem, purely biological means of co2 production are usually not that scary.
