Yes it sounds great!

Until... you read the small print and it turns out that the layer on
top of the biodegradable stuff is our old friend gallium arsenide
(always the bridesmaid and never the bride) which amazingly is even
more nasty than it sounds (it's not just half arsenic, it's also a
carcinogen). What could possibly go wrong if people take
"biodegradable" on face value and chuck it on the compost heap?

However, in other news, safe cuddly whizzy gallium nitride is the new
big thing, so if the biodegradable folk talk to the gallium nitride
folk, we could have a happy ending after all.  Fingers crossed.
