Bio-recyclable bags can be used to create new bags

The bioplastics used in the production of the bio-recyclable bags are often sourced from sugar cane. As mentioned earlier, this give a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional plastic bags, where the material is sourced from fossil fuels. Like traditional plastic bags, they can be recycled.

The bio-recyclable plastic bag contains the exact same properties as an ordinary plastic bag. This applies to both function and aesthetics. It is also indistinguishable from ordinary plastics. Only through a carbon-14 test is it possible to determine whether the plastic is bio-based .

The amount of bio-material in the bags varies. It is possible to get bags that contain upwards to 100% bio-material. We will help you find the material that best suits your needs.

Bio-recyclable bags do not pollute the recycling process

The bio-recyclable bag is recycled in the same existing recycling systems also used for fossil plastic bags. Consumers and businesses can throw this type of bag into the recycling streams, where new plastic bags are made from the old.

Bio-compostable bags break down into humus

Like the bio-recyclable bag, the bio-compostable bag is indistinguishable from a traditional plastic bag.

Bio-compostable bags have been mentioned a lot in media lately due to technological advances making degradation in nature possible.

Bio-compostable bags are in other words suitable for the disposal of bio-waste. By using bio-degradable bags for bio-waste, you ensure that the recycling facilities receive the correct type of waste. Using bio-compostable plastic together with bio-waste, you ensure that both waste and bag are composted.

Bio-degradability and compostability are highly dependent on the environment. This is due to the fact that every environment (compost, soil, water) has different temperatures and microorganisms. The rate of the bio-degradation process therefore varies from place to place.
