Default Degradable Wads

Does anyone have any suggestions for ammunition with either bio or photo degradable wads?
It's pretty annoying that many of us have made the transition to non-toxic shot whether steel, bismuth or tungsten but that we are still littering the landscape with plastic wads. I know that one my farmer friends is not that excited about finding chopped up wads in his forage and of course we are also shooting these into wetlands as well where they remain for years.
The volume of plastic wads at shooting clubs is a whole other aspect - even a small club is littered with 10s of thousands of wads on annual basis.

Mr Wolverine had some Spanish made ammo last year but doesn't carry that line anymore. Kent has bio wads but only in steel 7s which are (IMO) not ethical for anything bigger than grouse or chukkars.

Also looking for a source for my hand loads...
Any suggestions as to what and where available greatly appreciated.
