New home-compostable biomaterial to stop plastic pollution

If we make a product from polypropylene today, it will take 200 - 450 years to disappear according to the decomposition time estimation.

Unfortunatelly material recycling has its limits. I would like to introduce a project which aims to replace products made from plastic by home compostable biomaterial. How? Read attachment :)
