I think if we find materials that breakdown in a useful way, it creates an incentive to make use of those products that have a shelf life. But more importantly creating a waste product that is beneficial.

Cardboard. It composts well.

I go through more cardboard than garbage. It's not useful for many packaging or shipping solutions

Right, generally whenever fluids or outdoor exposure is a concern. Because it decomposes.

The problem with cardboard isnt that it decomposes, but that its made of paper, which absorbs fluids. Its also not really possible to make air-proof packaging with cardboard.
