The document discusses the environmental issues caused by plastic bags, highlighting that they take 500 years to degrade, with less than 1% being recycled. It presents a biodegradable alternative made from corn starch, which breaks down into nutrients for microorganisms and reduces carbon emissions significantly compared to traditional plastic bags. The document also details various eco-friendly products and certifications offered by Earthware, promoting solutions to replace conventional plastics.

2. What’s wrong with Plastic
Around a Trillion Plastic bags
are used every year worldwide
Some estimates say plastic
takes 500 years to degrade
Less than 1% of plastic is
recycled
It costs more to recycle than
to produce a new plastic bag.

3. So where does it all go
Bags get blown around to
different parts of land , sea,
lake and rivers.
Plastic bags photo degrade:
Over time they break down
into smaller, more toxic petro
polymers.
Great Pacific garbage patch
Twice the size of the continental United States

4. These microscopic particles enter the
FOOD CHAIN.
Effect on wildlife is unimaginable.

5. They die after ingesting plastic bags which they
Mistake for Food!!

6. So what do we do!?
Reduce Day to Day Plastic Usage.

7. “From the Earth to the Earth”.
Biodegradable alternative to
traditional Plastics made from
FEED STOCK

microbial food chain, when disposed
under composting conditions.

15. Oxodegradable bags in the environment

17. Base unit assumed at 100 tons of bags per year• Total carbon dioxide emissions is reduced to 41.4%
Which is equivalent to 130.09 Tons per year by replacing plastic
bags with compostable bags
• This is equivalent to eliminating total carbon foot print
annually from
• Driving 27.1 passenger vehicles each year
• Consuming 14,584 gallons of gasoline
• From consuming 303 barrels of oil
• Using electricity in 19.5 homes per year.

18. • PLA Coated Paper Cups - Contains PLA coating on the inside that is
completely heat-stable, these cups fully compost under commercial
composting conditions
• Corn Starch Plastic Cutlery - Made from Corn starch, these utensils are a
great alternative to 100% virgin plastic utensils
• Bio Degradable Plates - Bio Degradable Plates are made from Corn Starch.
The fibers are longer and stronger than regular paper fibers.
These plates are strong and durable.
