Regular plastics are made from non-degradable petrochemicals. It can take 100 or even 1000 years for them to break down. On the other hand, compostable bioplastics are an alternative, they are short-lived. Usually derived from renewable materials like corn, potato, tapioca starches, cellulose, soy protein, and lactic acid or other biodegradable material. They are non-toxic and decompose back into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass when composted (Within 60 to 1180 Days).
