Well the plaatics industry now sells plastic bags that break down into microplastics pretty fast (and are therefore by legal definition "compostable"). Just FYI, had missed that development too.. I now use doggy bags made from corn starch, they are better than the ones I used a few years ago, but I do not know if they have environmental problems, too.
