How is our plastic different?
Conventional plastics could take up to 1000 years to degrade. Even worse items are trapped inside plastic bags, preventing them from degrading. Oxo-biodegradable have a two year shelf life and a five year life span.

What is oxo-biodegradable?
First phase of degradation is started by exposure to oxygen. After this occurs, microbes consume the remaining plastic and leave behind a reusable biomass. Typically the process takes less than five years.

Is the product toxic to the air or ground during degradation?
No. The degradation process simply utilizes oxygen to slowly turn the bags into water, CO2, and reusable biomass. No toxins or harmful chemicals are released.

Does this mean my bags need to be used as soon as I get them?

We guarantee that our bags will have a shelf life of 2 years from the date they are manufactured until degradation begins. Even longer if the box remains sealed.
