However, their long-lasting nature becomes a significant environmental issue when they end up in nature. Traditional plastics, made with strong covalent bonds, are diffi…

The Ultimate Guide to #PlasticFree Tea Bags UK

Are your tea bags really plastic free and biodegradable?

We investigate what makes a #tea bag #biodegradable and #plastic free. Yes, it’s confusing, because even when tea companies say their bags are ‘biodegradable’ or ‘plant-based’, it can still contain a type of #bioplastic (PLA)

Very cool
#biodegradable
#plastic

so, what do you do with your spent smalls? do you wear them until they've perished, use them as rags & then bin them? i've got a 1/4 drawer in an atrocious state & don't know what to do with them. they're mainly cotton. can i compost them if i remove the elastic bits?
i've found biodegradable pants now, thankfully.

Fun fact. They're now selling #Tea Bags with the word "#biodegradable" printed on the Box (true story in the #UK).

That's not green tea wash; some brands of Tea bags have always been biodegradable. So, that's educational marketing because the information is a fact (not an incorrect opinion. AKA not misinformation or disinformation)

Just because a label says biodegradable, doesn’t mean that it actually is https://www.greenmatters.com/p/what-does-biodegradable-mean

I recently read an article that Maine (and other places) are being overrun by green crabs. Tasty, but only immediately after molting. Then the shell is too hard.

That’s besides the point, it’s the chitin in their shells, mixed with Zinc and it becomes a battery! When disposed it biodegrades in months!

Those #biodegradable #plastic bags? They’re probably no better than oil-based plastic for reducing #microplastic #pollution.

Quote: “…biodegradable plastics may be as toxic as conventional fossil fuel-based plastics and contain similar types and amounts of chemicals of concern… biodegradable plastics are reported to only break down in industrial or controlled composting conditions, and persist in marine environments for many years with close to no biodegradation.”

Frustrating to hear that only limited progress is being made to effective solutions to replace plastic #treeguards with #sustainable #biodegradable alternatives. Many that are compostable are not robust. Latest guidance is to minimise their use and seek reusable alternatives such as wire guards, fencing and smell based herbivore deterrents. #trees #woodlands
