Jig-A-Loo may have a funky name, but the makers of automotive and home improvement products new eco-friendly line of products, EconoGreen Plastics, appears to be a greener trash bag option. The EconoGreen family of products include trash bags and drop cloths designed to help consumers reduce environmental waste. The heavy duty bags are 100 percent oxo-degradable, made from 100 percent recycled materials and are said to break down within two years after use, considerably quicker than traditional plastic bags.
EconoGreen Plastics come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from trash and contractor bags, to drops cloths. In addition to being engineered to breakdown completely within two years, the bags are said to be extremely durable and long lasting. “Oxo-degradation involves the addition of a proprietary additive into EconoGreen’s formula that helps accelerate the decomposition of the plastic over time. This allows naturally occurring elements to break down the plastic into simple organic compounds. In the end, the process leaves behind no residue or harmful toxins that can harm the environment.”

Right, oxo-biodegradable bags also are a good alternative. From what I have read, during the manufacturing process, an oxo-boiodegradable additive is used. This additive is blended into the plastic during the extrusion process, so it is less harmful for the environment.
After your post I’ve tried EconoGreen plastic bags and it seems serious! And they are cheaper than the competition!
Thank you for the advice!
