In this era of consumerism, shopping has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, more than 300 million tons of plastics are produced globally each year according to authoritative statistics, most of which are single-use plastic products such as shopping bags, cutlery, garbage bags and so on. With the widespread use of regular plastic bags, environmental problems are becoming increasingly severe, including the suffocation of marine life, soil erosion, and imbalance of the ecosystem.
At the same time, toxic chemicals in traditional plastics will enter human bodies through the food chain, posing a potential threat to human health. In addition, plastic fragments are difficult to decompose in natural environment, which will destroy the soil structure, affect the growth of crops and further aggravate food safety issues. Therefore, compostable shopping bags came into being, which serve as an alternative shopping packaging solution.
What Is Compostable Shopping Bags?
Different from traditional plastic shopping bags, compostable shopping bags are defined as those that can be gradually decomposed into non-toxic substances in specific conditions or natural environments.
These shopping bags are usually made from biodegradable materials, such as bio-based materials, PLA, PBAT, etc., which can be degraded into non-toxic substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and biomass in a relatively short period of time under the action of microorganisms or through other degradation mechanisms, thereby reducing pollution to the environment.
