Hello Ali and we have been thinking the same.
However, so far we are drawing blanks in that “biodegradable” polythene has more polythene that normal poly bags, plus the polymers that activate its biodegradation, which may take years.
So not as good as it sounds, for now.
I have noticed with every passing year that the ‘normal’ poly bags are thinner.
My customers say they want no polythene, but like the leaves fresh in their bags, and the shopkeeper says he does not want boxes of leaves going limp.
On the other hand we are going to supply a restaurant with loose leaves that they transfer to containers at delivery.
