Is the manufacturing of the biodegradable bags harmful to the environment?
NO. Bag factories have no emissions into the atmosphere and no chimneys. The bag machines are purely heaters which melt the plastic resin at a very high temperature. The tube of the newly formed biodegradable plastic comes out the other end of the machine, which is then flattened and rolled onto large rolls. These rolls are then taken to the print shop, where they are printed and re-rolled, then to the cutting and sealing machine to cut and seal the finished bags. Once finished, they are packed, loaded into a container and sent by a truck to the port. Very simple: no chimneys, no pollution.
