Subject: Ecofoam
The Acqnet (Acquisitions discussion group) had a note about "ecofoam", which is advertised as a "starch-based loose fill." The claim is that it is 95% starch, readily decomposes, and dissolves in water. At least one vendor is using this as packing material, and it sound as if it has the same problems as popcorn.
