Biodegradable bags ;are bags that are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms.
Most bags that are manufactured from plastic are made from corn-based materials, like polylactic acid blends. Biodegradable plastic bags are nowadays as strong and reliable as traditional (mostly polyethylene)-bags. Many bags are also made from paper, organic materials, or polycaprolactone.
What Does Biodegradable Mean?
Biodegradable refers to a product breaking down into natural elements, carbon dioxide, and water vapor by organisms like bacteria and fungi. Technically, just about everything is biodegradable, although it will take hundreds of thousands of years for most things to biodegrade.
To earn a biodegradable label, products and materials must quickly decompose into natural materials. Third-party certifiers typically restrict acceptable breakdown times between six and nine months. Discover the benefits of biodegradable products below.
Biodegradable products break down much faster than other types of products.
Biodegradable products break down into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and organic material, which aren't harmful to the environment.
Typically, they're made from sustainable materials and plant by-products, such as cornstarch or sugarcane.
