I don't see the issue even if the plastics are invisibly dispersed in the wild. I use styrofoam in my potting soils, for a reason.

- creshal 11y agoNot all plastics are safe for human ingestion, and if you disperse them in the wild, that's where they end up sooner or later.
- pheroden 11y agoAh, I made the assumption that a vegetable oil based plastic would at worst break down or go rancid. And tiny bits of rancid oil wouldn't be harmful. However, if they're using other chemicals to produce these, then it's entirely possible that they would be unsafe. My bad.
