1.
Compost derived in part from biodegradable
plastics increases the soil organic content.
2.
The water and nutrients are retained.
3.
The chemical inputs and plant diseases are
suppressed.
4.
Biodegradable shopping and waste bags
disposed in a landfill can increase the rate of organic waste degradation in
landfills.
5.
Methane harvesting potential is also
enhanced.
6.
The landfill space usage is decreased.
Biodegradable landfill covers can extend landfill life considerably.
7.
Energy required to synthesize and manufacture
biodegradable plastics is much lower for most biodegradable plastics than for
non-biodegradable plastics.
8.
Biodegradable plastics also offer important
environmental benefits through the use of renewable energy resources and
reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
