__**What are biodegradable plastic bags?**__ Biodegradable plastic bags are made from farmed products like cornstarch, which, will break down into elements like carbon dioxide, water and methane. This is a better alternative to plastic bags. Biodegradable bags must be sent to a compost bin. This is because if they are sent to a landfill they may contribute to methane emissions.
