The biodegradable shopping plastics bags are made from natural bio-based and biodegradable raw materials like starch, PLA, materbi, PBAT etc. They are biodegradable that means they completely decompose to carbon dioxide, methane, water, biomass and inorganic compounds under the action of living organisms under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Directive 94/62/EC stipulates that packaging must decompose 90% within 6 months to be considered biodegradable.
