I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I’ve already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don’t know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?
Oh that’s good to see!
The problem is you need something that will not break down. Maybe the solution is to eeplace silage rather than the wrapping. Perhaps you use something that only breaks down in commercial composting, but silage can get very warm so that still may not be enough to prevent it breaking down in the paddock or shed.
Some Canadian researchers have actually made something out of corn proteins that they say works. They just don’t know how to scale up production. No idea how it can be both biodegradable and withstand the fermentation process and outdoor conditions.
That’s cool! I guess you need something that takes a medium time to break down, but when it does, it breaks down to organics rather than microplastics.
