2. Biodegradable bag - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_bag

   Most bags that are manufactured from plastic are made from corn-based materials, like polylactic acid blends. Biodegradable plastic bags are nowadays as strong and reliable as traditional (mostly polyethylene)-bags. Many bags are also made from paper, organic materials like Manila hemp, or polycaprolactone.

4. Plastarch material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastarch_material

   Plastarch Material (PSM) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic resin. It is composed of starch combined with several other biodegradable materials. The starch is modified in order to obtain heat-resistant properties, making PSM one of few bioplastics capable of withstanding high temperatures. PSM began to be commercially available in 2005.

6. Biodegradable polythene film - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_polythene_film

   This type is made from corn (maize), potatoes or wheat. This form of biodegradable film meets the ASTM standard (American Standard for Testing Materials) and European Norm EN13432 for compostability as it degrades at least 90% within 90 days or less at 140 degrees F. However, actual products made with this type of film may not meet those standards.

7. Plastic shopping bag - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_shopping_bag

   Some modern bags are made of vegetable-based bioplastics, which can decay organically and prevent a build-up of toxic plastic bags in landfills and the natural environment. Bags can also be made from degradable polyethylene film or from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid . [ 20 ]
