Does anybody know what might cause plastic bags to discentegrate for no apparent reason? I opened the cupboard a few weeks ago and there were bits and pieces of a few plastic bags spread around. I freaked out and thought that it might be mice or something but it isn't. Then yesterday, I opened a basket in which I had placed a plastic bag inside and there was nothing wrong with the bag when I had placed it in there. Yet, a few days later it too had discentegrated. I just don't know what it could be.
Some plastic bags are now biodegradable - not sure how long they take to break down - perhaps if they were in a damp place they might start to break down? Sounds very odd though!
