Recently, a British supermarket chain has developed a new type of plastic bag that can be degraded 100% within 18 months. It is expected that the green bag will be fully used in all supermarkets of the company in the second half of this year.
The appearance, feel and toughness of this new type of plastic bag is almost no different from the current general plastic bags used, but it can be completely decomposed into water and a small amount of carbon dioxide after one and a half years. It completely disappears in the air and protects the environment. Great help.
This new plastic bag can be completely degraded in a short time due to the addition of a harmless metal ion decomposer to the plastic bag. In the last step of the plastic bag processing process, this disintegrant can be injected into the polyethylene mixture. In addition, manufacturers can change the life of plastic bags based on the content and ratio of decomposers.
