[edit] Biodegradation
Following comment moved from article:
"As it is sourced from fossil carbon, the usefulness of biodegrading PCL is dubious since this will increase the amount of fossil carbon added to the atmosphere."
Believe this represents a misunderstanding of the aim of biodegradation in this case. Not necessarily converted to CO2; but allows the material to break down so no longer trash. Also, biodegradation used in medical devices. ChemGardener 02:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
