Biodegradable Clear Plastic Bags South Africa

Compostable clear plastic bags Is an initiative of sisters, Alison Gilson and lona Palmer, to bring an environmentally friendly, biodegradable and sustainable choice into your home or commercial business.

Biodegradable Good for the Ground bags are made from starch, providing a sustainable solution to protect our resources and environment.

Packaging is part of our everyday life. With Good for the Ground clear plastic bags you can make a difference.

Good for the Ground 30 micron bags are made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a polymer derived from starch. This starch is derived from corn, sugar cane, straw or wood, all annually renewable resource.

Unlike conventional packaging film, Good for the Ground bags are not made from petroleum, a finite fossil. In fact the whole production process reduces the use of fossil fuels. PLA film is derived from annually renewable resource, plant material, which gets its energy from the sun and carbon dioxide, from the air.

The film is produced in France and imported into South Africa where the bags are made. The sleeves, sleeve design, packing and distribution is all done in South Africa so this is a 90% proudly South African product.
