How do you deal with plastic bags? Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them?
Indian company Envi Green has made a bag with natural ingredients. It looks and feels just like plastic, but can be broken down in a few seconds. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both humans and animals can safely eat them.
Envi Green founder, Ashwath Hedge, spent four years doing experiments with 12 natural ingredients. They include potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid(液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.
Although the Envi Green bag is about 35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to the Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an Envi Green bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview with *The Better India*. In the interview, he put an Envi Green bag in water and ate it with a smile.
India generates(产生) more than 15, 000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9, 000 tons are processed. Maybe the Envi Green bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
