Not really. The reason plastic exploded in use is because it's cheap, durable, lightweight, and really versatile.
Look around you and consider what it would take to manufacture some plastic objects in another material.
Disposable things like packaging would be perfect to decompose after their lifetime is over.

I do wish there was a sign whether this would be realistically cheap or not. That is the key as to whether it could be single use plastics.

In terms of the process, it looks like for now it needs to land in a compost heap with a specific microbe. I am concerned about the practical chance of this particular plastic finding it's way to the special compost heap without getting mixed in with other plastics.
