It takes 500 (or more) YEARS for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. Unfortunately the bags don't break down completely but instead photo-degrade, becoming microplastics that absorb toxins and continue to pollute the environment. You can help with our mission to be plastic-free by choosing our biodegradable rice straws.
