Biodegradable Plastic Bag Manufacturing Industry. Production of Compostable and Biodegradable Bags from Corn Starch. Eco-Friendly Disposable Bags
The corn starch bags look and feel just like the ones made of plastic. A factor behind the huge demand for the corn starch bags is inadequate raw material.
Bags made out of corn starch are bio-based and renewable. Agricultural Crops like Corn can be harvested every year in the fields and are annually renewable. Through photosynthesis, they convert the energy from the sun into carbon chains, which can be processed into plastics and paper.
They:
•have a high barrier to air, grease and bacteria: ideal for food packaging
•are watertight
•have a hard and crinkly texture
•can be heat sealed
•are made from natural renewable resources
•are biodegradable
•are compostable in a compost facility
•Use these bags to package dry goods, nuts, fruit, beans peas etc.
These biodegradable bags are being liked over traditional plastic products, especially for the fast-moving consumer goods and food packaging.
