Biodegradable Bags

Plastic can take a very, very long time to decay and break down, basically recycle itself but with the technology and knowledge we now have this is starting to slowly become a thing of the past which has massive benefits for our planet!

What about my shopping and waste bags!?

It’s not that bags are disappearing! We are simply making them more eco friendly and bio degradable.

Shopping bags have started to take the first step towards becoming greener. I personally don’t see any possible way we could ever remove plastic shopping bags from supermarkets as even the greenest of green person does occasional for get their “bag for life” (which is an good start to be coming greener yourself by the way) but they are also environmentally friendly, well better then what they was anyways. Bags have become thinner which uses fewer materials to manufacture the bag. Supermarkets claim they are just as strong but i beg to differ, in fact that’s a whole new subject!

Moving on to waste bags or bin liners as they are commonly referred to. This seems to be a little contradictive. We spend all this time recycling and being careful with our waste and then we throw other items that can’t be recycled into plastic bags that take hundreds of years to decompose. Well just like shopping bags times are changing and being greener is more of a concern than ever before. The waste we now throw away in our domestic bins and transported of to landfill can now be put in supermarket bought eco friendly biodegradable bags meaning less impact on the environment.

Do Your Bit

This is one of the simplest things you can do to be green! The cost of eco friendly bags is nothing compared to what standard non biodegradable bags and in appearance they are no different! The environment gets a helping hand from you with the most minimum effort (Simply swapping your bags) and you get the satisfaction of knowing you are being a little bit greener!
