Handling Waste The Green Way With The Earth2Earth Degradable Sack 38″x 43″ Cream

For the waste disposal program in your establishment to be effective, critical aspects such as the strength and the size of the bin bags used need to be factored into the purchase process. After all, no one wants the bag tearing due to the weight of the material it is holding, and spreading these contents on the floor. That stinky and smelly mess will be a magnet for flies and pests. In business premises, it can actually grind your activities to a halt, and also chase out customers who are grossed out by the sight. Then there is the cleaning task that will need to be carried out right there and then. Since the situation cannot be left as it is- further increasing your workload. For the size, first the bin bag should have the capacity to handle the volume of waste that is produced by the establishment. Compatibility with the bin itself is also key, given that you also want to avoid situations like excess overhang that just results in wastage. Brand too weighs in, as you want to be sure that you’re getting a product that has a proven track record. With the Earth2Earth Degradable Sack 38″x43″ Cream, you’re getting a high-quality unit, whose construction of high-performance resins gives it enhanced strength. 

The threat posed by plastic bags

While plastic bags guard their contents against the elements, the matieral becomes a problem once the bag is disposed of. For instance, a cucumber out in the open can last for about 3 days, yet when wrapped in polyethylene its shelf life extends to 14 days. However, the wrapping itself can clock over 100 years- making it a contributor to environmental pollution. A whopping 78 million metric tonnes are produced annually- and only 14% gets recycled. The rest adds to the growing size and number of landfills, burnt in incinerators, and the lightweight bags that escape the collection system wind up on city streets, parks, drainage systems and flow into the oceans. Livestock are amongst the most commonly affected, from the camels in the UAE, cattle in Texas and India, to the sheep in Mauritania, with frequent reports of them chocking on the plastic bags. Birds visiting landfills and rummaging around the waste for edibles are also affected. Out in the sea, whales swallow plastic material in bulk- a fact confirmed when they wash up on coasts with their bellies full of the material. From fish that consume microplastics to the sea turtles that ingest the plastic bags due to confusing them for their delicacy – jellyfish, plenty of risks abound. Focus is shifting to the usage of products like the Earth2Earth bags, where the disposed material gets biodegraded while in the environment, being converted into products that are safe for the ecosystem. More municipalities across the different continents are moving in this direction, setting up legislation and infrastructure that will support the initiatives. Incorporating units such as the Earth2Earth Degradable Sack 38″x43″ Cream into the waste disposal program enables you to achieve this.

Safe breakdown

With this degradable sack, the film will breakdown at the waste disposal facility, yielding water, carbon dioxide and biomass, which will not pose a threat to the ecosystem. The breakdown is started off by the exposure to the mechanical stresses at the facility- including the stretching and tearing, plus factors such as heat and UV radiation. The molecular weight of the film reduces as the covalent bonds that hold together the structure get broken down. The fragments formed also react with oxygen, and the resultant molecular fragments are water wettable. The process continues and the sack loses the physical structure. As the fragments formed become tinier, microorganisms will feed on them. This biodegradation is what results in the water, biomass and carbon dioxide being formed. Throughout the process, there won’t be acidic or alkaline substances being produced, or toxic agents that can result in contamination of the environment.

Incorporating these green initiatives into your waste disposal process adds to the impetus of environmentally sustainable practices, improving awareness amongst those accessing the premises, from your family and friends at home, to the customers and employees on the business premises. For commercial establishments, your image gets a boost, and you actually get to reduce your carbon footprint- thus walking the talk.
