Bio-degradable?

I've always wondered why they didn't make those little critters bio-degradable under UV light. Some places you can see dozens of those bags flapping on barbed wire fences.

Last winter I took one of those Sun Chip bags that were "bio-degradable" and stuck it in my garden in the fall to see how long it would take. Some pieces buried, some just on the ground and a couple stuck on stakes. Had to give up in the spring when it was planting time. None of the pieces looked any different.
