PBAT a fully biodegradable polymer. This just means that when it's buried in soil, it breaks down completely and leaves no toxic residues behind and degrades quickly.
PLA is a monomer derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn starch or sugar cane. PLA uses less energy in production and emits less greenhouse gases during decomposition than plastic.
Cornstarch is a fine, white powder processed from the endosperm of corn. The endosperm is the nutrient-rich tissue inside the grain. Corn is a gluten-free grain.
