What makes EZ Bagz especially exciting is that they are one of the first and only Oxo-Biodegradable trash bags available to the mass market at a reasonable price!
Consumers today have become increasingly concerned with finding responsible and sustainable ways to protect our environment while still enjoying the convenience of low-cost disposable products. So far, there have not been many viable alternatives to common plastics that are satisfying or affordable. Bags made from starch-based plastics are one biodegradable choice, but the fact remains that they are not only flimsy and expensive, but not that eco-friendly, either. In common landfill conditions, starch-based plastics generate large quantities of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.
EZ Bagz are made from a 100%
degradable, non-toxic polymer that is
actually stronger and more puncture-
resistant than most conventional
plastic bags available on the market today.
These bags are not affected by moisture
like starch-based bags and can be used
multiple times until the degradation
process begins in the landfill or
controlled composting conditions.
Unlike starch-based bags, EZ Bagz
are also 100% Recyclable!

EVALUATION OF BIODEGRADABILITY:
Biodegradability of P-Life™ Degradable Plastics has been tested and proved to comply with ISO14855 standard, defined as “Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability and disintegration of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions – Method by analysis of evolved carbon dioxide”.
P-Life dosed LDPE Films, which were oxo-degraded were evaluated for testing. Tests result showed that the degree of biodegradability was 30% after 144 days and it was still increasing. This investigation has shown that the P-Life dosed plastics will degrade into low molecular mass products and the plastics are certainly bio-assimilated after they go through the degradation process.*
*When discarded in landfill and/or controlled composting conditions |
