There are biodegradable materials that don't biodegrade in the ocean. You are right that there are probably good materials though.

What do you mean by the ocean?

I would assume you would want straws to biodegrade in the ocean, why not?

Yes. And many plastics that are biodegradable do not. Because biodegradable means degradable in a hot compost. Not the ground.

The terminology is fucked (bcs megacorps), a lot of eg "biodegradable" cups aren't compostable bcs they contain some plastic particles (which aren't in fact biodegradable).
