I'm kind of surprised that we haven't started integrating the spores of Pestalotiopsis Microspora into plastic products to break them down faster later. They could seal spores between two layers of a bioplastic, then have the non-bioplastic as an innermost layer to protect the bioplastic from liquids, and the outermost layer be a mix of plastics and bio-plastic. This way it will still degrade, but slowly, until degradation reaches the spore sandwich layers, which will then quickly degrade and inoculate the spores to begin growing and consume the rest of the outermost layer and begin degrading the innermost layer. This (in theory) should eliminate nearly all, if not actually all, of the plastics involved.
