Malden Mills recycled clothes technology

Just discovered that Malden Mills and Polartec are using corn based fleece in some clothing products that will eventually break down easily in landfill sites.
"The material is not only an annually renewable resource, but the finished garments will be compostable, meaning after years of use when they eventually make it to a landfill, these garments are biodegradable, they will break down naturally and make a nice base for growing houseplants..."
Anyone ever bought any of these products, can't say that I've seen them anywhere, and are they any good??
