Alternate to Plastic bags is here - Bio Degradable Bags !!
As you all would be aware that recently the Maharashtra has banned the usage of plastic in the state and became the 18th state to do so.
The ban has kept he all the people around the state in buzz as to what all has been banned & what not?
Also the alternate to the usage of plastic is not clear to people, we over here have found few of the solution for the ease of the people.

1) OXO Bio - Degradable Bags.
2) Compostable Bags.
1) OXO Bio - Degradable Bags -
Material to which a metal-based additive is added to accelerate degradation by sunlight (UV), heat and / or mechanical stress. This first degradation results in small fragments, often invisible to naked eye, that could be biodegraded in a second degradation phase.
OXO Biodegradable bags are made by blending pro - degradant compound during the extrusion process which upon continuous exposure to heat ultra violent rays from sunlight causes the molecular structure of the bag to breakdown as its tensile strength and elongation properties breaks downs drastically, and over a period of 180 days and more, the bags gets converted into small bits and particles digested by micro organisms and fully degrade

into carbon dioxide and bio-mass.

How long does it take the bags to degrade ?
Usually, in the presence of oxygen & sun light it takes around 180 days to degrade the bags completely under observation.
Features & benefits :-
1) Reduce environmental impact.
2) Reduce packaging waste.
3) Controlled product life.
4) Cheap.
2) Compostable Bags :-
Compostable bags are made from the plant material which when under compostable, these bags when properly handled they are completely compostable.
Compostable are made from the following material, which are available in the market:-
a) Jute Bags
b) Sugarcane Bags
a) Jute Bags :-
Jute is a sturdy natural organic fiber, which is the most eco-friendly, biodegradable and recyclable natural fibre in the world. It also play a vital social role in the lively hood of millions of marginal rural peoples life in the world, which meets both the goals of social responsibility and green movement.
Features & benefits :-
1) Readily available.
2) Reduces environmental impact.
With all the above advantage the only things it that the delivery & price are on a bit higher side.
b) Sugarcane Bags :-
These are basically bags made from the sugarcane pulp which is remaining after the extraction of the sugar bearing juice from the sugarcane.
They are fully compostable & in given condition can compost within 90 -120 days in the environment without creating any impact in environment.
Features & Benefits :-
1) 100 % compostable.
2) Minimal carbon foot print.
3) Readily available resource.
4) Suitable for hot & cold food.
They are the best alternate to plastic but due to still on going research & less availability of the finished product they are priced relatively too high.
But as of now, bio degradable bags are the best alternate solution as of now.
We together can keep our environment green & it becomes our responsibility to take all possible measures to gift our green nature to our coming generation.

"A bio degradable bag is not necessarily a compostable, but a compostable bag is always Bio degradable".
