Harry, take a look at the list of patents owned by GERS. You can find them in the intro of this ihub page. You'll see a lot of patents related to bioplastics. No sec filings needed for that.

Ballot, biodegradable plastics already exist and are being used on a daily basis. For instance at home I'm using Home Compostable Plastic bags, to throw away organic waste.
Also there are other products that can be bought that you can throw away with the other organic waste.

Also there are mushrooms that can eat plastics.

There are new inventions everyday, making it possible to reduce the amount of plastic waste.

Yes, there still is a problem with plastics ending up in nature and animals suffering from plastic. It will take a very long time for that to stop. Also, the problem is mainly caused by people throwing their waste in the nature. That's the other side of the problem.

But developments reducing the amount of aromatic polyesters in plastics are a great step forward, and will eventually lead to reducing the problem.
Hemp plastic is one option to do so,

DDGS plastic has a higher grade of biodegradability the conventional plastic.

A basic comparison of bio plastic and conventional plastic

Yes there are still problems to overcome, Rome wasn't build in one day. But these inventions, combined with the growing awareness about the problem are a huge step forward.

Yes, it would be better if plastics weren't used anymore, but I don't think that will happen. So to me it seems better if they work toward plastic that is more "environmental friendly" instead of doing nothing.
