B Green Products offers an Oxo-Biodegradable additive using the latest technology that supports the 3 Rs of Packaging Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and provides a fourth R, Remove. Independent Scientific Testing show that plastics incorporated with an additive called RenaturaTM will degrade and then fully biodegrade, without leaving behind harmful residues in the soil. These Oxo-Biodegradable plastic products are scientifically proven to be non toxic and are FDA compliant, meaning they are safe for food packaging applications and have been awarded approved food film contact no migration status. The additive meets ASTM D 6954 Standard Guide for Exposing and Testing Plastics that Degrade in the Environment by a Combination of Oxidation and Biodegradation, as well as D5338 Standard Test Method for Determining Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials under Controlled Composting Conditions.
Regular plastic bags can take up to 100 years to break down causing plastic pollution and harm to both domestic and wild life. Standard plastics are filling our landfills and greatly impacting our planet. Plastics incorporating this additive in the presence of oxygen disappear when exposed to UV light or thermal heat. The product is designed to allow plastics to degrade like a leaf, slowly yielding CO2 (which through photosynthesis becomes oxygen), water, bio-waste, and mineral salts that condition the soil in the process.
Please note these bags are made of plastic and are not intended to be used in a composting facility. They are a better alternative to traditional plastic bags.
WARNING: Keep this bag away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or playpens. The thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
