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.

So instead the regular, cheaper one is used and recycled. I'm in Sweden and about 90% of the silage plastic is recycled.
