Why not use the kind of plastic that simply rots?

Today I bought chocolate. The packaging says that the plastic rots. Why isn’t this kind used for everything?

It’s not really plastic, it’s a plastic like starch. It’s quite expensive and much less durable that petroleum plastic. Chocolate is a pretty stable product, for years it’s been sold in foil packaging that’s not even air tight. Most foods would go bad quickly without air-tight packaging.
