What do you know about Biodegradable Film Bags?

Biodegradable film bags are a great alternative to traditional plastics. They are manufactured from plant-based products and require less energy to manufacture than their counterparts. They also don't leach chemicals during use.

Why choose biodegradable films?
Traditionally, plastics have been made from petroleum and have a high carbon footprint. But the use of bioplastic can dramatically reduce the amount of oil used to produce plastics.
These bioplastics are derived from corn starch, so they are completely biodegradable and compostable. They are also a lot cheaper to make than other types of plastic.
The biodegradable films are also recyclable which means they can be recycled into more plastics if the end user recycles them. They are also better for the environment as they require less energy to produce than conventional plastics.

How to make biodegradable plastic?
The basic ingredient for a biodegradable plastic is PLA (polylactic acid) derived from corn starch and other renewable resources. This material is a good choice for food wrapping and containers because it breaks down easily in a compost bin.
When putting together the bioplastic, it is important to not overheat it and let it cool down completely before molding into shapes. This is a good idea because it will help to avoid bubbles and lumps.
To make a mold, fill two halves of a clay mold with the bioplastic mixture. Then, place them in a dry and cool area to set them. Allow them to dry for at least two days.
