Biodegradable plastic bags are designed to break down more quickly than conventional plastic bags when exposed to environmental factors such as moisture, heat, and sunlight. These bags are typically made from renewable resources, like plant starch or other biodegradable compounds, which allows them to decompose without leaving harmful residues. They offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic bags, reducing pollution and waste in landfills. Biodegradable bags are commonly used in retail, packaging, and food industries. Unlike conventional plastic, which can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, biodegradable bags decompose in a shorter timeframe, depending on environmental conditions. The adoption of biodegradable plastic bags is growing due to increasing concerns about environmental impact and plastic pollution.
