It seems a little strange to me to have an umbrella that will break down with water. in this instance I'm a bigger believer in paying extra to get a high quality sturdy (wind proof) umbrella that will last a long time, then to buy a less sturdy product with a much shorter life span. I certainly applaud the out-of-the box thinking that it takes to come up with a full size version of a drink-umbrella. now I could be wrong but I thought that biopplastics break down with water because of the corn starch that’s part of the polymer?

In the other hand... arent umbrellas made to be disposable in the first place. Umbrellas are made so lightweigt for comfort reason that they dont last to long...this new umbrella looks like it is a sturdy design that could last along time. Maybe it will outlast the plastic cover...why not make it replaceable . This biodegradable plastic could be personilized so long as the frame survives. In the end everything is biodegradable so when it time to dispose of it wont be in the landfill for tom long. Ithink it is a great idea.

I'm going to be so confused if they start making everything out of bioplastic. All the rules are changing! Okay, that’s completely genius.
