All plastic bags are not the same. Did you know that a plastic bag takes up to 1000 years to fully degrade? Our eco-friendly bag dissolves as little as 24 months! Our poop bags were created to help care for the environment and have received the ASTM 6954–04 designation. Oxo-biodegradable plastic is intended to address the environmental problem caused by plastic waste which gets into the open environment accidentally or deliberately. Oxo-biodegradable plastic is designed to harmlessly degrade then biodegrade in the presence of oxygen and to return the carbon in the plastic to the natural biological cycle.
EPI supports the development of international standards relating to the establishment of practical and measurable specifications and methods for the testing of degradable and biodegradable products. The American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM recognized Oxo-biodegradation and ASTM 6954–04 is the standard guide developed for exposing and testing plastics that degrade in the environment by a combination of oxidation and biodegradation.
