BASF’s biodegradable plastic Ecovio FS Film is being used in a pilot project in the district of Bad Dürkheim, Germany.
Starting in April 2011, a three-month test will be conducted to determine whether the bags are suitable for collecting organic waste and how the bags behave on a large scale at an organic composting plant in Grünstadt.
Rubbish bags made of Ecovio make the collection and disposal of biodegradable waste more hygienic and easier, says BASF.
