How long does it take for biodegradable bags to completely degrade?

Biodegradable environmental bags is an environmentally friendly delivery environmental bags made from natural biodegradable materials, designed for the e-commerce and logistics industries. It can be completely broken down by microorganisms in the natural environment and eventually converted into water, carbon dioxide and organic matter, which is harmles to the environment. Biodegradable environmental bags not only have the excellent performance of traditional bags, but also effectively reduce plastic pollution, which is a green packaging solution.

The complete degradation time of biodegradable environmental bags depends on a number of factors, including the type of material, environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.) and microbial activity. In general, biodegradable environmental bags usually take 3 to 6 months to fully degrade under commercial composting conditions (high temperature, high humidity, and ample oxygen). In a natural environment, such as soil or the ocean, degradation can take longer, usually 1 to 2 years, depending on changes in environmental conditions.

Here are the degradation times of some common biodegradable materials:

PLA: Under industrial composting conditions, it usually takes 3 to 6 months; In home composting conditions, it may take longer.

PBAT: It usually takes several months under commercial composting conditions.

PHA: It can take several months to a year under the right conditions.

It should be noted that biodegradable environmental bags need to be effectively degraded under the right conditions, especially in the lack of suitable composting conditions in the environment, the degradation rate will be significantly slowed down. Therefore, in order to ensure that biodegradable environmental bags can be degraded as soon as posible, they should be sent to a profesional composting facility or handled under suitable home composting conditions.
