Feature: Fabulous Friday Favorites

I'm really excited about this weeks Favorite ~ Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic Bags! Why? My friends and family will tell you that if there's one thing I personally dislike, it's all things plastic!  Whether it be excessive or unnecessary over-packaging or non-reusable water bottles, I refuse to buy them all!  I haven't used a plastic grocery bag in years [using reusable non-woven PET shopping totes instead!]

The short film about "The Life Cycle of a Plastic Bag" really drove home the idea of never using another plastic shopping bag again!



That is...until now!

We have found shopping bags made from Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic, which is also referred to as "degradable" plastic.  This material does not require a biological process to degrade.  Microrganisms will speed up the degradation process, but they're not required.  This gives oxo-biodegradation a distinct advantage over prior methods for degrading plastic!

 

These bags will start to degrade in about 2 years, depending on the exposure to UV light and heat.  However, if stored inside, it's likely they will remain usable for 5+ years.

Degrades fastest in the situation we want them to...when they become litter!

Look and feel like regular plastic, and are just as durable.  You won't notice a difference until the bag has been exposed to UV light or heat for prolonged periods of time.

They do not emit methane in landfills.

For more information on this type of plastic, see this article.

 

These bags are available with a high resolution digital print.  A natural fit for those of you in the travel & tourism business.  Great as grab bags at trade shows, exhibitions, and other special events too! 

Available in a variety of sizes, with patch or loop handles, these bags are not only eco-friendly, but inexpensive too!
