Hemp plastics are biodegradable but currently not as cheap to produce as petroleum based plastics. The way to get us off of oil plastic is to change the standards of plastics entirely.
You do this by efficient production of hemp plastic maybe combined with other plural bioplasts. A 3-6 month degrade time is a lot better than basically never. Right now you can't grow enough hemp to keep up with global demand especially with prohibition.
The solutions are there but in America you're dealing with regulatory capture preventing the viable answers to our problems. I mean how long have we had electric car technology? Practically forever but legacy industry inhibits progress.
