This technology is an additive which, when combined in small quantities with any of the popular plastic resins, renders the end products biodegradable while maintaining their other desired characteristics. The Bag Lab has developed this technology so we can use the additive without having to modify our existing methods of production any more than if we were changing the product's color. The potential uses of this technology are limited only by the imagination.
The resulting plastic products exhibit the same desired mechanical properties, have effectively similar shelf-lives, and yet, when disposed of, are able to be metabolized into inert biomass by the communities of microorganisms commonly found almost everywhere on this planet.
This biodegradation process can take place aerobically and anaerobically. It can take place with or without the presence of light. These factors allow for biodegradation even in landfill conditions which are normally inconducive to any degradation. Our company's technology differs significantly from other "degradable plastics" emerging in the market today because it does not attempt to replace the currently popular plastic resin formulizations but instead enhances them by rendering them biodegradable. The Bag Lab believes that it has the most cost-effective biodegradable plastic technology available today.
