UK developed rapid degradation of bags

A chain supermarket in the United Kingdom has recently launched a new kind of plastic bags that can be degraded in 100% within 18 months, and this eco-friendly plastic bag will be the normal shopping bag for supermarkets in the future.

It is reported that the appearance, feel and tenacity of this new type of plastic bag are almost the same as those of currently used plastic bags, but they will be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide after one and a half years. This feature is very environmentally friendly. The reason why the plastic bag completely degraded in a short time was due to the developer adding a harmless metal ion decomposer to the plastic. In addition, by changing the content and ratio of metal ion decomposers, manufacturers can also determine the service life of plastic bags based on the user's different needs.
