Bio-Degradable bag

That depends on the type of landfill or waste disposal the bag ends up in. There is a first stage process whereby the bag becomes brittle and fragments into smaller pieces. The speed at which this occurs will depend on the availability of UV light, oxygen, heat and physical stress experienced - all of which can contribute to a speedier chemical transformation in the landfill environment.

How long does it take the Greenmate degradable bags to degarde?

This happens as a result of exposure to heat or UV light and mechanical stress (or any combination thereof). The plastic molecules become much smaller, water wettable, and microbes can use them as a food source.

Why greenmate biodegradable plastic bag degrade?

A Greenmate degradable plastic bag is a biodegradable plastic bag that will degrade as a result of naturally occurring organisms like bacteria, fungi and algae. Greenmate biodegradation is a two-stage process in which, first the plastic is converted by reaction with oxygen to molecular fragments that are water wettable and second, these smaller oxidized molecules are biodegraded.
