Although the topics are related a merger may be confusing. Biodegradable plastics may or may not be produced from sustainable biological sources - BASF's Ecoflex and Arkema's Rilsan PA11 are both derived from petrochemicals yet are inherently biodegradable (without the use of any heavy metal additives) Bioplastics are polymers derived from biological - and generally sustainable sources. But Bioplastics need not be biodegradable. I suggest you keep the two topics separate but linked.

Clarification

Moved some material for structure regarding environmental impacts into own section. It was cluttering the introduction and an ancillary point (at least as it was made). Also a bit lengthy, so I broke up long sentences into shorter ones and removed some unnecessary details. Halogenated 18:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

modification last paragraph of Bioplastics and biodegradation

I've suppressed the first sentence which said tha tadditive bioplastics degraded very well, beacause it is controversial, and I personnaly think it's false (tatters of plastics stays in the ground). I couldn't found references to this so I didn't put it and I just suppressed the sentence.
