Biodegradable plastics for containers, packaging, grocery bags and other products exist from companies like BASF, Metabolix, and others. Monsanto and BritainÆs ICI experimented with biodegradable plastics made from genetically modified materials but dropped their respective projects in the 1990s, (Men, 2004). However, U.S. sales of BASFÆs biodegradable plastic, Ecoflex, have risen more than 80% in the past year, (Kharif, 2005, p. PAG). This analysis will discuss the viability of genetic modification in the creation of biodegradable plastics. The publicÆs lukewarm, at best, reaction to genetically modified (G
