Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags
How do d2w biodegradable dog waste bags work?
These dog waste bags are made with our biodegradable plastic technology.
This technology is added as a masterbatch to ordinary plastic bags at the factory where they are made, and it transforms the plastic at the end of its useful life, in the presence of oxygen, into a material with a different molecular structure. It is then no longer plastic and is biodegraded by bacteria and fungi in the open environment.
Do d2w dog waste bags contribute to pollution via microplastics?
Microplastics come from the fragmentation of ordinary plastic, caused by UV light and mechanical stress. The problem is that although these fragments are small, their molecular-weight remains too high for biodegradation. As a result they accumulate in the environment, getting smaller and smaller over a period of many decades.
Yet, if plastic products are made with d2w technology, the molecular-weight of the plastic will reduce much more quickly. It transforms into a waxy substance that is no longer a plastic, and is a source of nutrition for naturally-occurring micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi.
