Many are now aware that plastic bags cause untold damage on the environment. According to researchers, it takes from 450 to 1000 years for plastic-bags to decompose. In fact, plastic in marine surroundings never completely decompose. The final product of the decomposition, &#8220;plastic dust,&#8221; is absorbed by filter-feeding marine animals. This dust and the bio-toxins, like PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, are collected by other living organisms and find its way up the food-chain to animals and humans.<\/p>\n<p>There are biodegradable bags created from cornstarch along with other degradable-components that exist. Nonetheless, they require air and light in order to disintegrate, which most landfills do not provide. Biodegradable bags can take months, perhaps years, to breakdown and cost more than standard plastic bags. Some recycling companies predict that improvements of biodegradable plastic bags could make them more appealing and affordable in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Many chain stores and independent grocers offer a low-cost alternative. Currently, many stores offer plastic bag programs where they pay one penny to five cents per plastic bag returned. Very popular supermarkets have containers set out in view of customers so that they can toss their used plastic bags for recycling.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, one very large chain store collected over 6500 tons of plastic bags. The plastic is then sold to a company that produces Trex, lumber similar boards generated from plastic bags and re-claimed waste and pallet wood. Regrettably, composite-lumbar produced partially with plastic is not deemed to be recyclable, although it could last for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>-Here are some of the most important reasons to <a title=\"Recycle Plastic Bags\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epdplastic.com\">recycle plastic bags<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>1.
