There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil microorganisms. Genecis produces biodegradable polymers called PHA or PHBV (poly hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxy valerate).
