I have heard that bio degradable plastics are on the way

But can't seem to find much info.
Does anyone know about this?

It's called "paper" maybe?

I heard talk about it on the radio maybe years ago that it's something in the works, not much after that. I'm guessing the cost is drastically higher than conventional plastic which is probably a huge hurdle for market entry.

I think I heard something about resin made from corn?
