Environment friendly plastic bags?

It's possible certainly. I don't know of any specifics, but an environmentally friendly plastic bag would be one that decomposes quickly without releasing any harmful chemicals. Most plastic lasts like, forever in a landfill, but it's certainly possible to make plastic that would decompose quickly. Possibly out of soy. Why not ask the company, I'm sure they'd be happy to explain.

Most disposable plastic shopping bags are made from polyethylene, which is a by-product of the petroleum industry.
Not only are there issues with the rate at which these bags break down, but the chemicals released as part of the decomposition process; being organo-chlorine (highly toxic), methane (a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming) and nitrous oxide, another greenhouse gas.
One of the advantages of polyethylene is that it can be recycled, but that hasn't stopped the flood of discarded plastic bags assaulting the environment. Consequently, many governments are moving to ban them.
There are alternatives to disposable polyethylene bags and they've become increasingly available in supermarkets. They don't really stand out among the other bags, so you'll need to hunt around the plastic bag section and look for the term "degradable" on the label. The good news is, they really aren't all that much more expensive.

With all the problems plastic bags are causing to the natural environment, it’s little wonder there’s an abundance of alternatives hitting the market. Although biodegradable plastic bags have been around for a while now, many people still don’t know they exist.
Let’s look at the two main types of biodegradable plastic bags.
Biodegradable Plastic Bags
Typically, biodegradable plastic bags are made from farmed products like cornstarch, which break down into elements like carbon dioxide, water and methane. They don’t just decompose automatically though - they need the right conditions to decompose.
To decompose properly, a biodegradable plastic bag should be composted. It should not be sent to landfill, as it may contribute to methane emissions. To meet international standards, a biodegradable plastic bag should compost within 12 weeks, then fully biodegrade within 6 months.
Degradable plastic bags decompose due to a chemical additive to oxygen, light or heat and are best suited to landfill. Degradable bags are also referred to as “oxo degradable” bags.
Degradable plastic bags will usually break down automatically. This could range between anywhere from 3 months to 18 months after manufacture, or even longer.
So… Are They Eco Friendly?
On the face of it, biodegradable and degradable plastic bags seem like a good concept. They can be used just like any other plastic bag, then when the time is right, they decompose - possibly within 6 months (or 18 months for oxo degradable bags).
While it’s not hard to argue that these bags are much better than traditional plastic bags (which can take up to 1,000 years to fully decompose), many environmental organizations argue that biodegradable plastic bags still don’t go far enough in saving the planet, and I tend to agree.
Even if a plastic bag does biodegrade within 5 - 6 months, that’s still plenty of time for it to cause serious issues. A biodegradable plastic bag can still end up in the ocean where it can kill it’s wildlife. When a plastic bag begins to suffocate a baby dolphin, that dolphin will die within minutes. The fact that the bag will decompose within 6 months means nothing - it’s already too late.
So, while these bags are better than traditional plastic bags, there are much more eco friendly bags around.

Unless it bio-plastic with this logo on ity then its not very good.

Stick to pare bags, or take you own, hard to remeber I know!!

The rule will undoubtedly reduce the use of plastic bags and enhance the awareness of environmental protection.
