The plastic bags degrade 100%, breaking down itself naturally back to the environment in a time span between three to four years compared to conventional plastics that may take more than a 100 years. The plastics are manufactured in Merida, Yucatan by a company that produces biodegradable plastics from the Mexican Bakery – Bimbo.
