Why should you choose to use bioplastic bags ?
Scientists around the world recommend that you do not use traditional plastic bags because it brings great harms and threats to the environment compared to biodegradable bags, typically the 4 reasons below.

Its existence also affects the growth of plants by preventing oxygen from passing through the soil, eroding the soil and making the soil unable to retain water due to changes in physical properties. The birth of biodegradable bags is the solution to limit those impacts because of their ability to decompose extremely quickly, only taking about 24 – 36 months. It is a good way to protect the soil and water environment from pollution and avoid the production of many types of disease-causing bacteria.
Reason 2: Environmentally friendly
Bioplastic bags made of inorganic substances and biomass are used to produce biofertilizers for crops and regenerate green ecosystems, protecting the environment and not being toxic to humans. consumers.
Reason 3: Safe for users’ health
Self-degrading in the natural environment without burning, just incubated to avoid creating toxic gases that can cause cancer and birth defects such as dioxin, furan is the reason for the introduction of the decomposition bag. biology. At the same time, the bag is made from natural materials, so it helps people reduce the risk of toxic diseases such as BPA, phthalates and many other diseases
