First of all - Salutations to you and your family members for this awesome eco-friendly initiative!

And Yes my friend, the plastic we use in general (non-biodegradable) may take up to 1000 years to degrade in landfills.

Most of the plastic we use go to landfills and oceans. The single use polybags are therefore major concern for environmentalists. The researcher are always trying to solve the problem of plastic pollution though and they are inventing some new techs and processes too.

But the usage and consumption of plastic products must be reduced to not further damage the stability of our ocean and land ecosystem.
