When do EconoGreen Plastics™ bags start to disintegrate?
The additive in EconoGreen Plastics™ bags has a delayed effect that is designed to begin working approximately 2 years after the bag is produced. This time frame means bags have ample time to be shipped to stores and used by customers – more than once if necessary – before the disintegration process begins. The complete disintegration of a plastic bag depends on the way it’s disposed, and how much UV light, oxygen and heat it gets exposed to.
