APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Biodegradable Plastic Bags and Sacks
Biodegradable plastic bags and sacks are created using materials that will allow the bags or sacks to completely decompose after a period of time. Most biodegradable plastic bags and sacks are said to decompose in three years, although many completely disintegrate in less time. The bags and sacks leave no discernible trace and are completely harmless to the environment. Biodegradable plastic bags and sacks require two key elements in order to decompose. The bags and sacks need to be exposed to oxygen and light. Therefore, biodegradable plastic bags and sacks do not start to decompose from the date of manufacture, only after they have been exposed to light and air.
