1. One advantage is that the material is made from a renewable resource, and it is also biodegradable, meaning it will break down naturally.
   However, a disadvantage is that it has higher energy costs to produce. It may also use more fossil fuels, causing pollution, and since it is not recyclable, it ends up in landfill.
