Global Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market Analysis Trends, Applications, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast to 2028

Biodegradable plastic bags are manufactured from all-normal plant-based raw materials that enable normal decomposition process which is achieved when bacteria and fungi present in surrounding environment naturally metabolises the plastics. This also assists to further breakdown the structure of a biodegradable plastic.

We do have environmental bags throughout the store," Sawchuk said,  "so everybody is well aware (when there are no more plastic bags on offer), to assist the environment by purchasing one of these environmental bags.

What you should proceed for is an eco friendly product manufactured on the trends of fashion alley. There are products which assist the environment which is so crucial for all of us, and yet, they have the proper fashion quotient enough to take you to top echelons. Eco-friendly bags have become the talk of the town these days. Enter any upscale place and you can see fashion-conscious women strolling with eco-friendly bags on their shoulders. These bags are a method for them to make fashion statement. These assist them sport chic and sexy, and yet, a socially responsible see.

Plastobag Bio-Degradable Bags :

Plastobag Bio-Degradable Bags , this Bag is Totally Degradable. These bags are environmentally safe and contain no heavy metals. The biological process of degradation returns the biological carbonate in the material back to the normal bio-cycle as a food origin for microorganisms.

Biodegradable plastic bags are becoming the need of the hour in order to keep safe our environment and our future generations. These bags take about six months to be decomposed absolutely by bacteria and fungi and do not pose a threat to our marine life. It is necessary that companies see for biodegradable bags manufacturer to package their products in such bags and acquire rid of normal plastic packaging that is harmful to our planet. The bags are manufactured from plant-based materials like wheat or cornstarch instead of petroleum. The normal bags we are familiar with are commonly known as petrochemical plastic bags.

  Conventional plastic bags have a plastic coating that releases gases onto your food. Not to mention that the bags stop up in a landfill and take hundreds of years to decompose. Our compostable bags are the perfect plastic bag substitute which enable you to retain your biological waste out of the landfills. They are manufactured of 100% certified compostable material, nevertheless they are as robust and heavy-duty as normal plastic bags. You can come by our compostable bags in a assortment of sizes.

Why Degradable or Biodegradable bags/film?

Conventional plastics do not break down. Litter and landfill waste take years, even decades, to degrade. Litter is visual pollution, an eyesore that regulations and educational programs have failed to eliminate. In landfills, not only do ordinary plastics degrade very slowly but also anything contained within them may not reach their full degradation potential. This results in a needless waste of valuable landfill space.

What is biodegradable

Biodegradation is the process by which organic substances are broken down by the enzymes produced by living organisms. The term is often used in relation to ecology, waste management and environmental remediation (bioremediation). Organic material can be degraded aerobically, with oxygen, or anaerobically, without oxygen. A term related to biodegradation is biomineralisation, in which organic matter is converted into minerals.

Biodegradable matter is generally organic material such as plant and animal matter and other substances originating from living organisms, or artificial materials that are similar enough to plant and animal matter to be put to use by microorganisms. Some microorganisms have the astonishing, naturally occurring, microbial catabolic diversity to degrade, transform or accumulate a huge range of compounds including hydrocarbons (e.g. oil), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pharmaceutical substances, radionuclides and metals. Major methodological breakthroughs in microbial biodegradation have enabled detailed genomic, metagenomic, proteomic, bioinformatic and other high-throughput analyses of environmentally relevant microorganisms providing unprecedented insights into key biodegradative pathways and the ability of microorganisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

Degradable vs. Biodegradable vs. Compostable

Compostable Plastic is plastic which is:

capable of undergoing biological decomposition in a compost site as part of an available program, such that the plastic is not visually distinguishable and breaks down to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass, at a rate consistent with known compostable materials (e.g. cellulose). and leaves no toxic residue.
American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).

In order for a plastic to be called compostable, three criteria need to be met:

1. Biodegrade - break down into carbon dioxide, water, biomass at the same rate as cellulose (paper).
2. Disintegrate - the material is indistinguishable in the compost, that it is not visible and needs to be screened out.
3. Eco-toxicity - the biodegradation does not produce any toxic material and the compost can support plant growth.

Biodegradable Plastic

Biodegradable Plastic is plastic which will degrade from the action of naturally occurring microorganism, such as bacteria, fungi etc. over a period of time. Note, that there is no requirement for leaving "no toxic residue", and as well as no requirement for the time it needs to take to biodegrade.

Degradable Plastic

Degradable Plastic is plastic which will undergo a significant change in its chemical structure under specific environmental conditions resulting in a loss of some properties. Please note that there is no requirement that the plastic has to be degrade from the action of "naturally occurring microorganism" or any of the other criteria required for compostable plastics.

Please visit environmentalbags.com to know more about degradation and the types of degradable bags.

A plastic therefore may be degradable but not biodegradable or it may be biodegradable but not compostable (that is, it breaks down too slowly to be called compostable or leaves toxic residue).

Bioplastics

Bioplastics can take different length of times to totally compost, based on the material and are meant to be composted in a commercial composting facility, where higher composting temperatures can be reached and is between 90-180 days. Most existing international standards require biodegradation of 60% within 180 days along with certain other criteria for the resin or product to be called compostable. It is also important to make the distinction between degradable vs. biodegradable vs. compostable as often these terms are used interchangeably.

Biodegradable or Biodegradeable?

It is very common to misspell biodegradable as biodegradeable (please take note yourself as some of our domains are actually misspelt!) and the same happens with degradable as degradeable. In fact when written down the word biodegradable often looks like an incorrect spelling and has been known to be corrected to biodegradeable by some overzealous and missinformed editors. So, now you know if someone tells you otherwise stick out your guns!

Green is the new black

The choice of packaging used by e-commerce retailers and how well this demonstrates a consideration for the environment affects the purchasing decisions of consumers, according to a packaging survey.

Research by strategic logistics partner Dotcom Distribution revealed that 60% of consumers think it is either important or very important that a retailer's packaging is sustainable.

Their 2013 e-Commerce Packaging Survey found that retailers who demonstrate sustainability is a priority are perceived as environmentally friendly, whilst customers themselves like to be seen as environmentally-conscious when deciding on where to shop and what to buy.

"It's clear that a retailer's packaging choice can have repercussions", said Maria Haggerty, president of Dotcom Distribution. "The results of this study show that packaging is not to be overlooked or underestimated for its possible impact on a brand."
