The new Addis Biosense Refuse Sacks are an exciting new innovation in waste disposal. In todays environmentally conscious society it is important to dispose of waste in an ethical & responsible manner. It is believed that plastic takes Approx. 500 years to decompose meaning that all the plastic that has ever been produced is still on earth today. Unlike traditional refuse sacks, Biosense refuse sacks typically take 18 months to degrade. Degradation takes place once the sack is exposed to UV light & continues in the dark when accelerated by heat. The refuse sack slowly degrades into water, CO&226;&137;&164; & organic residue.
