HOW ARE THE CORN STARCH COMPOSTABLE GARBAGE BAGS MADE
✔ Our garbage bag is made of compostable materials, biodegradable
cornstarch-based! The starch is converted into a polymer, the main
ingredient in materials that have a plastic-like feel. A kind of
acid called polylactic acid (PLA) is made from the corn starch.
This is why the corn starch bio-compostables are sometimes called
PLA plastics.
✔ Compostable-Biodegradable plastics are called so because they are
a step beyond just biodegradable. For a plastic to be considered
compostable, it must meet certain criteria. For instance, it must
decompose at the same rate as paper, and it must break down into
harmless material such as water, carbon dioxide, or biomass
(organic matter).
✔ Compostable plastic must not produce any t0xic substances as it
decomposes! It must also break down to the point that it cannot be
discerned or filtered out of the surrounding compost. PLA plastics
cannot be recycled. They must be composted.
