Have any recognized bodies tested the technology?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Yes. We have tested our BIOTEC BAGS® biodegradable plastics in a BIS approved lab called M/s. Shriram Institute for Industrial Research. This is the only lab having NABL accreditation for testing of biodegradable plastics in India. We have proved 90% biodegradation in 180 days as per the standards of ISO 17088 cross referred to ISO 14855 and EN13432.

Should we bury the bags for biodegradation?

Should we bury the bags for biodegradation?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

No. None of us would have buried any plastic for disposing in our life time. Either they are carelessly thrown in the environment or collected and dumped in the landfill or disposed through the composting condition. Our biodegradable plastics are biodegradable in aerobic condition and not anaerobic condition. We have tested BIOTEC BASG® as per ISO 17088 referred to...

How long does the biodegradation take place in environment condition?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

All compostable/biodegradable plastics will take upto 180 days for 90% biodegradation in lab condition and approximately 360 to 400 days in environment condition for complete biodegradation. Biodegradation of BIOTEC BAGS® also takes approximately in 12 months in environment condition, ie., from the day of having contact with soil, and exposed to oxygen, sunlight and...

How Compostable Plastics are made?

How Compostable Plastics are made?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Except BIOTEC BAGS® all other compostable Plastics presently in the world are made from the biopolymers. They can be called as biobased / biosourced / agrobased pCymers. Starch is the reserve carbohydrate of plants. By modification of its properties chemically, they make biopolymer. Different kinds of Compostable Plastics are made from different raw-materials such...

Are Oxo-Degradable and Oxo-Biodegradable Bags are different?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

No both are Degradable Plastics only and Not biodegradable. Currently available all Oxo-Biodegradable bags in the market should be called as Oxo-Degradable only. ASTM D6954 is the standard guide developed for testing plastics that degrade by a combination of Oxidation followed by Biodegradation. Unfortunately none of the suppliers could prove the biodegradation...

Are Paper bags better than BIOTECBAGS™ biodegradable plastic bags?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Normal plastic bags are better than Paper bags as all paper bags are made by cutting down the trees. Compared to plastic, paper requires more energy, air and water. They are not good in terms of cost, strength, usage, life, landfill space required etc. Only in terms of degradable period the paper bags are better than the normal plastic bags provide they are not...

What bags are used as alternate to plastic bags?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Only Cotton, Jute and Compostable/Biodegradable bags are real eco-friendly alternate to plastic bags. Sometimes jute bags are also laminated inside with plastic. They are not really green bags. Non-woven bags (looking like cloth bags) are extensively used as alternate to plastic bags. Actually they are plastic, having 98.3% polypropylene and not biodegradable. Even...

why can’t we encourage recycling?

why can’t we encourage recycling?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Recycling is an excellent way of handling used plastic. Not always. More than 93% of plastics are not recycled. If recycling happened, after recycling couple of times the plastic loses its properties and becomes unsuitable for recycling. Most of the manufacturers use filler (a cheap powder material) along with plastics for reducing the cost. It makes recycling of...

Why normal plastic bags are dangerous to the environment?

Why normal plastic bags are dangerous to the environment?

on Oct 15, 2015 in FAQ

Once plastic is created it cannot be destroyed. The molecular structure cannot be broken down. Disintegration of plastics is impossible. Hence biological degradation is not possible. Average use of a plastic carry bag is 20 minutes but it takes 1000 years to decay.

What is the difference between compostable, biodegradable and degradable plastic?

What is the difference between compostable, biodegradable and degradable plastic?

on Mar 4, 2015 in FAQ

Biodegradable plastic will degrade as a result of bacterial activity. In order to also be classified compostable, the degradation must meet certain specified criteria such as rate biodegradation, maximum residue of material left at a specific point in time and a requirement for the material to have no harmful impact on the final compost or the composting process....
