The real difference with these bags is that they will degrade in landfill at a significantly quicker rate than conventional bubble bags.
The polyethylene used in these bags is much easier to break down than commercial grades which have polymers with a higher molecular weight and, therefore, very resistant to direct microbial attack.
The oxo-biodegradable bubble used in these bags is not a perfect solution but certainly a step in the right direction in reducing waste for future generations.
Waste material is only truly ‘eco friendly’ when it is recycled responsibly. This material must still be recycled and should never enter landfill or river systems.
