A few notes about biodegradeable plastic bags:

There are several different types of biodegradable and compostable plastics that are made specifically for different purposes. Depending on planned use and intended disposal (landfill or compost) they are all better environmental options to ordinary plastics that can persist in the environment for decades.

Plastics Solutions offer three materials. Each is engineered to serve different purposes and all three degrade and biodegrade at different rates. They are environmentally safe and contain no heavy metals.

Except for time frame, the biological processes are the same, returning the “organic carbon” in the materials back to the natural bio-cycle as a food source for microorganisms.

Our new "Plastics Solution's" products include:

EcoSafe~6400™ Compostable Plastic Trash Bags listed above.
Compostable trash bags are specifically engineered to quickly degrade in 10 to 45 days and fully biodegrade in less than 6 months when disposed of in a commercial compost facility. All EcoSafe~6400 Compostable bags meet the requirements of ASTMD6400-04 and carry the United States Composting Council/Biodegradable Products Institute certification logo.

EcoBio Oxo-Biodegradable™ Plastic
EcoSafe® Doggie Bags and other compost compatible bags are produced with premium materials that will degrade/biodegrade in landfill disposal, in some longer term commercial compost operations or if carelessly littered. Depending on available oxygen and microbial activity of the disposal site, the materials will quickly degrade within 3 to 4 months and fully biodegrade in approximately 24 months.

EcoDegradable™ Plastic Trash Bags
Are robust degradable trash bags that provide the same performance as ordinary plastic bags but totally degrade when disposed of in a landfill or if carelessly littered. Depending on available oxygen and microbial activity of the disposal site, the materials will degrade in 18 to 24 months and biodegrade in approximately 36 months.
