Lower your carbon footprint by switching to a biodegradable alternative to conventional plastics. These d2w refuse sacks are strong, reliable and degrade in an eco-friendly manner. These bags are oxo-biodegradable, which means there is oxygen present in the plastic to help it biodegrade at a highly accelerated rate. d2w only takes 2-3 years to fully decompose when exposed to landfill conditions. Compare this to the lifespan of the common plastic bag, which can take hundreds of years to fully biodegrade.
