...The biodegradable plastic included sustainable material developed in UC San Diego laboratories and sold by the university spinoff company Algenesis.

I'd like to see the reproductability of this one. Another thing is they only compared PU, one of the nastiest plastics which should be banned. I think most plastics in use today are packaging plastics like PE, PP, PET, PS. Not that I like those ones better, we could do without a lot of the plastics we have today, and we don't even need replacement in a lot of cases.

Don't we use lots of PU for foam cushions for furniture and cars? Are there good alternatives?

Probably PU is the cheapest option.
