Biodegradeable Plastics
Although plastics have been around since the 1930's, only around 5% of plastics are incinerated. As plastic is a very long-lived material, the planet is literally littered with 95% of all plastics which have been made. Obviously, in environmental terms, it is often better to find alternative materials to plastics. However, they remain extremely versatile and useful, and difficult to live without in today's world.
We are therefore very excited about a new generation of plastics which have a built-in self-destruct system, which after a pre-set time under the right conditions, will break down into water and a little CO2. Those right conditions are places such as landfill sites and other burial methods, such as compost heaps.
Currently, refuse sacks and swing-bin liners are available in perforated rolls.
