 From the PakSel site:

	"Regenerated as a clear, shiny film, with plasticizing chemicals added 
for flexibility, cellophane is still comprised largely of crystalline 
cellulose molecules. This means that it can be broken down by 
micro-organisms in the soil just as leaves and plants are."

My question is: what are the "plasticizers" made of? do they also 
completely biodegrade, and if so, into what?

I'm too tired to ask them that question right now. (actually, I guess 
it's two questions.) Maybe I will, another day.
