When a boidegradable bag biodegrades what does it biodegrade into and
where does it go?
From the PakSel site:
"Regenerated as a clear, shiny film, with plasticizing chemicals added for flexibility, cellophane is still comprised largely of crystalline cellulose molecules. This means that it can be broken down by micro-organisms in the soil just as leaves and plants are."
My question is: what are the "plasticizers" made of? do they also completely biodegrade, and if so, into what?
I'm too tired to ask them that question right now. (actually, I guess it's two questions.) Maybe I will, another day.
