There's no certification that biodegradable or compostable packs vanish in a landfill domain, as it is altogether different to a treating the soil condition. In the event that they do separate without oxygen in a landfill, they discharge methane, which is an exceptionally harming ozone-harming substance, so the benefits of changing to them are begging to be proven wrong.

Customers are probably not going to home-compost a biodegradable plastic bag. The main advantage they do possibly offer is, whether they wind up in the marine condition, they may corrupt faster than a standard plastic bag.

October 2016 saw the launch of the reusable bag refund in North Island New World stores. For each reusable bag the client utilizes, they get 5 rupees from their shop up to a most extreme of 50 rupees for every shop. The advancement has demonstrated a major accomplishment with stores announcing decreases of between 10-20% of plastic bags being handed out.

Answer:

1) Persuade customers to bring their own bags when they shop. This will cut down on the number of bags that you give out to customers.

2) Encourage customers to re-use plastic shopping bags. They're strong and hygienic and can reasonably be used several times or even more if they're kept clean and dry.

3) Charge an enviro-fee. Some cities have already mandated this, but if yours hasn't, consider doing it voluntarily. By charging even just a few cents for each bag, you'll make customers think about how much they really need to use one, and they'll also be more likely to re-use it for future shopping trips.

4) Offer an incentive. This can be given in the form of a small discount for bringing in reusable bags for shopping or creating a contest to encourage responsible bag use.

5) Set up a plastic bag recycling depot in your store. Then encourage your customers to bring in their old ones for recycling, after they've re-used them several times, of course!

6) Help customers to find other uses for plastic bags. Plastic bags can, and should be re-used as many times as possible. Besides bringing them back for subsequent shopping trips, they can be used in place of commercial garbage bags for lining garbage cans at home, picking up pet waste and even for artwork.

7) Educate customers on issues related to plastic bag recycling. Every community is a little bit different in its approach to managing plastic bag waste. Find out where your local recycling depots are located and what kinds of things they accept. Know what your local laws and by-laws are regarding recycling and plastic bag use. Get to know your own community and then share this information with your customers in an engaging and memorable way.

8) Switch to non petroleum-based biodegradable plastic shopping bags. These types are generally made from corn starch, a natural and renewable product that breaks down much faster than a traditional plastic bag. They can even be composted
