A couple of decades ago one of the largest contributors to biodegradable plastics was the USN.
Fouled props chewing threw the seas of floating junk were part and parcel to that study.
As noted above they came up with a plastic matrix held together with cornstarch. The only problem was that once the starch dissolved you got plastic dust floating around in either the atmosphere or the ocean.
Give big momma earth a few more centuries and she will find a way to totally break down the plastics.
