Here's six mil poly tubing from graingers. They're 12" width, so that would make a straw log just over 7 1/2" thick.
Here's four mil tubing from U-Line. The 16" width will give you a ten inch diameter log. RR

I wish cellophane would make a comeback. The mycelium would eat it and there's no waste. I agree, plastic sucks. I'll be glad when unicorn bag company gives a greener alternative. I'm going through over 1000 large spawn bags per month. RR

I doubt there will be a biodegradable replacement for polypropylene any time soon, which is unfortunate, since oil is just going to get more and more expensive.
As far as bioplastics are concerned, I use those biodegradable bags for kitchen scraps, and they seem to take quite a while to break down in the compost heap. I should try doing an oyster grow in one of these bags.
