Biodegradable Bags

Description of biodegradable bags

A biodegradable bag is simply a plastic bag that has microorganisms added to it to assist in its decomposition after use. The microorganisms break down the plastic. It takes about 3 to 6 months for the biodegradable bag to be fully broken down. This is much faster than ordinary plastic, which takes hundreds of years to decompose. Biodegradable garbage bags is made of biodegradable plastic that is made from plant-based materials. Materials such as corn, wheat starch, and potatoes are some of those used to make this type of plastic. Other types of degradable garbage bags are made out of similar petrochemical-based substances as conventional plastic. The only difference is that degradable garbage bags can be degraded by fungi and bacteria in the presence of light and oxygen.

Benefits of using compostable trash bags

Biodegradable plastic bags are made of plant-based plastic which produces far fewer carbon emissions than regular plastic. Regular plastic releases four tons of emissions while biodegradable bags release only 0.8 tons of carbon. This is a 500% reduction in emissions. Secondly, biodegradable trash bags produce less waste at the end of their lifecycle as compared to other conventional trash bags. Since it takes between 3 to 6 months to break down, the amount of plastic from trash bags found in landfills reduces significantly.

Compostable garbage bags can be recycled in special facilities located in specific areas of the world. This also helps reduce the amount of waste caused by bio bags. Eco-friendly trash bags are less damaging to the environment and are therefore a preferred option by environmentalists and climate change activists. Buyers can place compostable plastic bags in their homemade compost pit and the plastic will also break down along with the other waste. Buyers can also use compostable ziplock bags to store food in the fridge instead of plastic. Buy compostable paper bags in bulk at cheap prices on Alibaba.com.
