Environmental issues are important to everyone.
We are doing our part by offering 100% Biodegradable bags!
 Our biodegradable bags break down completely when in contact with other decomposing materials; in compost bins, landfills, or just buried in the ground. These bags can also be recycled along with regular plastic bags. Unlike starch based compostable bags and oxo-biodegradable bags, these bags won't degrade in the presence of oxygen, heat, or sunlight, so they can also be reused until no longer serviceable. Any bag we make can be produced as biodegradable.
Environment friendly bags are made using traditional resins combined with an additive from ECM BioFilms that allows the plastic to completely biodegrade within a few years.
|
| Plastic products made with ECM additives are: |
- Fully biodegrade in 9 months to 5 years,
- Fully biodegrade when disposed of in a biodegrading environment, either anaerobically or aerobically:
- in landfills,
- in compost (backyard compost or commercial facilities),
- if buried or littered in the ground,
- in agricultural and erosion-control settings
- Are recyclable,
- Can be made with recycled resins,
- Do not use heat, light or mechanical stress to break them down,
- Do not require special handling (unlike PLA and oxodegradable products),
- Do not contain heavy metals (unlike most oxodegradable products)
