Biodegradable bags are bags that are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms.
Under the action of microorganisms, it can be completely decomposed into plastics with low molecular weight compounds. It is convenient for storage and transportation, as long as it is kept dry. It does not need to be protected from light, and it has a wide range of applications.
Distinguish between “biodegradable”and “compostable”
The rate of biodegrade depends on the chemical composition of the object and various factors such as temperature, water, light and oxygen.While “compostable” refers to a product or material can be biodegraded under specific controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
The shelf life of degradable plastic bags is only about three months. Even if they are not used, natural degradation will occur in five months. In the sixth month, the plastic bags will be covered with “snowflakes” and cannot be used. Under composting conditions, even newly produced degradable plastic bags can be completely degraded in only three months.
