About Degradeable Refuse Sacks
70 litre, degradable refuse sacks, 10 bags. Plastic is strong, durable, versatile, lightweight, safe and inexpensive. It is made from a by-product of oil refining which would otherwise be wasted, so nobody is importing oil to make plastic products. However, the problem identified by governments and NGOs around the world is that plastic does last rather too long if it gets into the environment and especially in the oceans.
Symphony has found the answer to this problem. Symphony's d2w additive put into the plastic at the extrusion stage will make the finished product oxo-biodegradable so that it will degrade and disappear in a short timescale, leaving no fragments, no methane and no harmful residues. Degradability is not a disposal option - you can still re-use and recycle - it is low cost insurance against the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment.
Customer reviews
This is made from synthetic polymers that do not in fact break down into innocuous substances but into microplastics that persist and increase toxicity in the environment. These oxo-degradable plastics have recently been banned by the E.U. and by a consortium of British companies based on the latest research refuting the manufacturer's claims. Please research this topic fully! There is, sadly, no such thing yet as environmentally-friendly plastic.
