Can plastic ever completely biodegrade?

Asked by JoshLake (73points) June 19th, 2009

I live in Mexico on the coast and tons of plastic and other trash washes up on to the beach everyday from the ocean currents. The currents bring trash in from South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. I was wondering if there are any chance that the plastic, left on the beaches, will ever completely biodegrade.
