Paper is really such a great fit to replace single use plastic. Biodegradable, can be incinerated, plasma gasified, or landfilled. Will decompose if not collected for disposal, and wax can be used for the more tricky packaging applications. Fast growth timber can meet the need without impacting more at risk forestry.
Bottles and cutlery traditionally made from plastic can be made from agricultural plastic substitutes.
You might use more energy (which can be sourced from clean sources), but the trade off is less persistent pollution and micro plastic waste.
> Anything sold to the general public _must_ be biodegradable.

I love this guiding principle.
