I do wish there was a sign whether this would be realistically cheap or not. That is the key as to whether it could be single use plastics.
In terms of the process, it looks like for now it needs to land in a compost heap with a specific microbe. I am concerned about the practical chance of this particular plastic finding it's way to the special compost heap without getting mixed in with other plastics.
