What is the shelf life of biodegradable bags?

The shelf life of biodegradable plastic bags is generally about one year, but this time is also related to factors such as storage environment. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of biodegradable plastic bags is six to nine months, and some may take a year to completely degrade. After the shelf life of biodegradable plastic bags, its strength and toughness will be greatly reduced, prone to broken leakage, which is a normal degradation characteristics, but also the process of degradation. Nevertheless, this is still a good phenomenon because it will not cause pollution to the environment and nature after degradation.

The degradation time required for biodegradable plastic bags is related to the environment. In the general daily environment, even if the time exceeds six to nine months, it will not immediately decompose and disappear, but the appearance remains unchanged, its physical properties begin to change, such as strength and toughness gradually deteriorate over time. Therefore, biodegradable plastic bags can not be stored in large quantities, only the appropriate amount of purchase, and pay attention to the storage requirements, such as keeping clean, dry, not exposed to direct sunlight, and follow the principle of first-in-first-out storage management.

Fully biodegradable garbage bags also have specific requirements during transportation and storage, such as staying away from heat sources above 50 ° C, avoiding sun exposure, rain, trampling, mechanical collision and contact with sharp objects, etc., and should be stored in a ventilated, cool and dry warehouse. The shelf life of the product is usually not less than one year, and can also be determined by negotiation between the supply and demand parties.

In summary, although the shelf life of biodegradable plastic bags may be shorter than that of ordinary plastic bags, they play an important role in protecting the environment and can still degrade naturally after expiration, reducing pollution to the environment.
