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.
