FAQ – Solubag Biosafe Plastic Alternative
1. How does Solubag decompose?
Solubag products naturally decompose within 3-4 months under most environmental conditions, including landfills, soil, and water. Unlike traditional plastics or bioplastics, they break down completely without leaving -any microplastics or toxic residues, making them a safe and sustainable alternative.
2. What makes Solubag better than biodegradable plastics or bioplastics?
Many biodegradable plastics and bioplastics leave behind microplastics or require specific industrial composting conditions to break down. In contrast, Solubag products decompose naturally in a variety of environments, including landfills, soil, and water, within three weeks. They do not leave behind harmful residues or microplastics, ensuring a truly eco-friendly lifecycle.
3. What products can be made using Solubag's technology?
Solubag’s innovative material can be used to create a wide range of products, replacing traditional plastics in various applications. Current uses include packaging solutions, gloves, various kinds of bags, bubble wrap, pet waste bags, and protective wraps and more. We are continuously developing new applications to meet the needs of different industries. If you have a specific product in mind, let us know!
4. Why choose Solubag over other plastic alternatives?
-
No microplastics: unlike many biodegradable plastics, Solubag products break down completely without leaving microplastics.
-
Universal decomposition: decomposes in a variety of environments within 3-4 months, unlike bioplastics that require specific composting conditions.
-
No harmful residues or contamination.
-
Versatility and customization: can be adapted to replace most plastic products without compromising on functionality or durability.
5. Can Solubag products be customized to my specific needs?
Yes. We can replicate almost any plastic product using our advanced material. Custom designs, shapes, and functionalities can be developed to meet your unique needs. In the majority of cases, no changes to existing production equipment or methods is required. If you have a specific product in mind, contact us to explore the possibilities.
6. Are Solubag products safe for food contact and human use?
Yes. Solubag products are made from FDA-tested raw materials, ensuring safety for both human health and the environment. They are food-safe and free from harmful chemicals, making them suitable for food packaging and other consumer applications.
7. How do Solubag products impact the environment?
Solubag products decompose naturally without harming the environment. They break down into non-toxic, organic components, leaving no trace of microplastics or pollutants. This makes them an environmentally responsible choice for reducing the global, single-use plastic pollution problem.
8. Can Solubag products be printed with custom designs or logos?
Yes! We offer custom printing using environmentally friendly, food-grade ink. There is a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom designs. To minimize environmental impact, we recommend using minimal colors and printing.
9. Will Solubag products break down if exposed to rain or humidity?
No. Solubag products are designed to maintain their integrity under normal usage conditions, including exposure to rain and humidity. Depending upon production requirements, they can even be made to withstand washing, They only decompose when discarded and exposed to natural environmental elements over a 3-4 month period.
10. Are Solubag products recyclable?
While Solubag products are designed to decompose naturally, they are not intended for traditional recycling streams. Their decomposition properties provide an eco-friendly end-of-life solution, eliminating the need, cost, and carbon footprint that is required for recycling.
11. Is sorting or recycling required?
No sorting or recycling transportation and processes needed, so additional benefit of a lower carbon footprint for municipalities.
