But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was
happy to show it in his interview. He put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.
There are more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste in India every day. But only 9,000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution(解决方法) to the world problem of plastic pollution.
