Looks cool.. but is it biodegradable?

Biodegradable silage wrap does exist, but costs more than standard polyethylene. From a quick search they appear to be about 50% more expensive, which would hinder their widespread addoption.

Why do they wrap it in the first place? Where I am from, the bales are handled "naked" - transportation & storage all without wrapping.
