Environmental Resources for August 2008

Featured Green Business

In the past few months environment posts and beyond, the topic of plastic bags has come up on more than one occasion. Yesterday, a comment was left on the July Environmental Review Post by a representative of Nature-Tec, which is a green company that “offers biobased and fully biodegradable and compostable alternatives to traditional plastic products.”

The only thing that I have heard about biodegradable bags is that they are more expensive than traditional plastic bags. Checking out the Natur-Tec site, I was unable to get any info on the cost of said bags compared to traditional bags. Also, I was looking at the plastic bag pdf, and I see that the bags are “certified Biodegradable and compostable”, but I was still a little unsure about what that means. According to the Natur-tec FAQ pages(tsk tsk using pop ups) to be classified as biodegradable and compostable, the product needs to be able to degrade up to 90% in 180 days or less. Hmm, I wonder what these puppies would do to my garden?

I do have out several emails to Natur-tec, and will update the post or do another Natur-tec review post possibly if it is needed. (I received no compensation for this review)
