Biodegradable Carrier Bags Can Hold a Full Load of Groceries!

In addition to reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, biodegradable carrier bags can also help reduce the amount of pollutants in the environment. Unlike conventional plastics, which take hundreds of years to break down and can cause serious pollution, biodegradable bags break down naturally.

Biodegradable carriers are made from renewable raw materials, or all-natural plant or animal materials such as orange peels, corn oil, switchgrass, soybeans, micro-organisms or starch. They generally require 60 percent less energy to manufacture than traditional plastics, lowering the amount of carbon that's emitted into the atmosphere.
