I want to store simple things in ziplocs, but don't want to use the non-recyclable regular type that end up in landfills and don't decomposeAny leads on products similar to what I'm looking for would be appreciatedBiodegradable plastic ziploc type bags.
I just gave this recipe to someone else.but it's worth mentioning again.they're awesome!! SPICY CHICKEN WINGS.serves 12 Ingredients 1 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 packets fajita or taco seasoning 4 lbs chicken wings 1In a bowl, combine your soy sauce, vegetable oil, and fajita packets and mix well2Divide your chicken wings into two batches and place each in a large zip lock bagPour half of your marinade over the chicken in each bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours, or over night3Preheat oven to 375 ? F 4Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spread your wings on the sheet in an even layerBake wings for 30-35 minutes and enjoy(Check for doneness in case it needs more time).
This is a great question but there is a conflict of intent in your questionWhat you want to do is a good idea in the well meaning sense but in the storage sense you have a problemIf you want to store something you don't want the container, the bag in this case, to biodegrade before you are readyThis is actually a very important question you raise as it directly affects the ability of biodegradable plastics to capture a larger market share in the packaging industry, which is a very desirable goal for us allRight now I know of no workable bags of the type you are asking for though there is a lot of ongoing research into uses and applications of the biodegradable plasticsYou should contact Crusader_Magnus who is on here and in my contactsHe deals with this stuff for a living and runs a company called Applied Ecotechnical InnovationsHe is a professional environmental researcher and works with several bioplastics companiesSo without knowing more, I would recomend that you stick with a reusable container, perhaps one of the cheaper ones that are sort of like thin versions of tupperware/rubbermaid containersIf it is very temporary consider something like waxed paper which you can wash off and burn, or aluminum foils which you can wash and reuse, and if too dirty to wash, just use in the bottom of your oven to catch spills and toss the whole thing when it is dirty enoughBy the way, all the organic material you wash off makes good nutrients in the soil if you catch the water and dump it outsideKeep up the good work of trying to do the right thingWe need more people like you.
