Welcome to Bio Bags 4U
Long Life Bags, Reusable, Recyclable and Degradable
Welcome to Bio Bags 4U.com, where we manufacture and print the most environmentally friendly bags on the market for our customers, in small quantities (500 -10,000), which is aimed at the small trader, business and promotional events.
Our strong "long-life" reusable and recyclable bags, also contain a degradable agent, but due to their thickness, the shelf life of these bags are "long term" well in excess of 18 months if stored at room temperature. These bags are designed to last, but at the same time carry the degradable agent so any ending up in the waste stream, will in-fact fully biodegrade in a few years.
The breakdown process is initiated when the bag has been exposed to u.v. light and heat. Due to the latest technologies they do not just fragment into smaller pieces, but break down to a fine inert powder. When the additive has broken the molecular chain, the material is no longer a plastic - it is a material that will completely biodegrade by the action of micro-organisms into nothing more than water, and a minuscule amount of CO2 and biomass. Until it reaches this stage, our bags can be safely recycled, as every scrap of waste in production already is, where they end up as black refuse sacks.

We can also offer Degradable mail order bags, plain or printed, as well as paper carrier bags. We can now also offer a fantastic new product, "Bioplast" derived from potato starch, which is 100% biodegradable and compostable, to E.U. Standard EN 13432. All our bags are manufactured and printed here in Bristol, U.K. We are a small family run business, now trading for well over 25 years, and pride ourselves in a fast, friendly, and personal service to the small trader, and would be delighted to hear from you if we can be of service. We'd also be delighted to recycle any bags customers wish to return to us, where their local council do not recycle bags. |
