A team of biomaterial engineers, environmental resource specialists and industrial design researchers affiliated with a host of institutions across Japan has developed a biodegradable material that is clear and can hold boiling water—and it degrades in less than a year after settling on the ocean floor. Their work is published in the journal Science Advances.

(I kid, I’m sure it’s biodegradable elsewhere too.)
Agreed! I def hope this becomes a common thing now.
