I think I am misunderstanding how new biodegradable plastics would work, and would like someone to clear it up for me. I always save my plastic grocery bags to use as lunch bags, trash bags, and even shower caps. If every grocery store went green and invested in these fancy biodegradable plastics would the plastics quot;rotquot; in my kitchen cabinet and attract little insects that niches include decomposing.
sophisticated stuff. look into from search engines like google. just that might help!
They don't usually decompose that fast. My roommates eat at some places that gives you composting plastic spoons. They seem tougher than the flimsy plastic spoons and we've put them through the dishwasher at least twenty times. I don't notice any degrading and they hold up much better than the thinner cheaper regular plastics. I think the bags will rip before they start attracting bugs via decomposition. Also, I believe bacteria are the ones that break the stuff down, not fruit flies. Normal plastic will slowly break down if it is exposed to sunlight, so i think they become useless (get holes or start snapping) at about the same rate anyway.
