Biodegradable bags which have been in discussion for many years, seem to have grown at slower pace with development expected to happen due to the growth of organic recycling in the US as predicted by BASF.
Biodegradable bags are now extensively used as organic waste collection bags, can liners and lawn and leaf bags in the US, Canada and Europe. The long waited biodegradable into grocery bags is yet to happen. Grocery bags are one of the major used of plastics in the bags segment. Currently polyethylene bags (PE Bags) are used.
The conversion of biodegradable bags, is only feasible if an organics collection program is available, since the technology is in place but it needs implementation to fully close the life cycle.
Recently, BASF has launched its Ecovio, a biodegradable plastic using foam. Ecovio is made from BASF’s biodegradable polyester Ecoflex and polyactic acid.
