The Bio-Degradable usb drive is not so bio-degradable after all

What do you mean by bio-degradation? If you’ve studied science in your school then your answer will be if you throw anything into trash bin then it’ll automatically degrade and will disappear in sometime. But this Bio-Degradable pen drive is not so bio-degradable if you go by definition. According to its manufacturer it’s completely bio-degradable. But here’s a catch — the drive’s case is made up of corn-based plastic, so in order for complete bio-degradation to take place you’ll need to heat it. Now that can only be done at a recycling center. You just can’t throw it in a trash bin and feel good that you haven’t caused any harm to mother earth. No word on capacity or pricing.
