Garbage Bin Liners and Home Hygiene. Important to Read..

It is our 1st daily activity to throw garbage of the previous day out of our homes into the street bins, from where it is collected by Corporation trucks to be processed further. If we add the waste of all our homes then it adds up to a huge pile of garbage and needs proper and scientific waste management.

Garbage bags, also called bin liners, play an essential and very critical part for waste management both at home and in the streets outside our home. Here's why.

Each day we generate enormous amounts of food waste, fruits peels, cut vegetables, meat cuttings and bones, fish bones, egg shells, dairy, spoilt food, etc. Some of these already contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, etc. These wastes start decomposing immediately and further start attracting bacteria, fungus, moulds, flies, for whom this is their main food and forms their food chain.

By the end of the day, our Kitchen Bin will have billions of harmful bacteria, virus, moulds, fungus, cockroaches, etc and needs to be disposed very carefully, with minimal exposure of our hands and clothes to these waste foods and the bin areas.

If we don’t use garbage bags to pack and properly dispose of the waste material, it can litter the street areas, thereby creating a mess on the street accompanied by an unpleasant odour. Mismanagement of garbage and uncollected waste negatively affects the environment, provides ground to breed and attracts rats, rodents, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc that spread life-threatening diseases and bring infections back to the homes. It can also cause blockage of drains and other problems.

Within the home garbage bags ensure that:-

a) The kitchen and toilet areas are hygienic and clean.

b) Floors and storage areas do not get stained with left over litter that required daily manual cleaning to prevent infections. It also avoids hand contact of bins with household waste, that requires further sanitzation.

c) Prevents the build-up and spreading of unpleasant odors.

d) Open garbage and odour attracts bugs, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, rats, rodents, that spread life-threatening diseases and bring infections back to the homes.

e) Easy way to carry & dispose waste for families on the go and people living in apartments and gated communities.

According to a WHO recommendation, 22 types of diseases can be eliminated with proper waste management. Thus, disposing garbage using compostable or biodegradable bags not only provides hygiene and sanitation within the home and local community, it can help in saving the environment, reduce pollution, and improve the fertility of the soil. There are millions of people all over the world who are not even aware that eco-friendly products exist in the market. These are fairly new in the market and this is why several governments and other organizations are organizing campaigns to popularize these Earth-Friendly products.

Using Earth-Friendly Biodegradable and Compostable Trash Bags are considered a great way to sort and keep huge amounts of garbage out of disposal areas. The following are the prominent types of Earth-Friendly degradable Trash Bags.

Compostable-These types of bags break down more quickly than biodegradable bags. They will completely decompose under ideal circumstances in 10-45 days.

Biodegradable-These kinds of bags break down into carbon dioxide and water when disposed of in commercial landfills. The process takes from 18-36 months.

These unique Green Solutions are effective because of their dual process. In the initial process, the plastic is oxidized and afterward, micro organisms consume the plastic. These micro organisms leave behind refuse which is a reusable biomass. They are highly beneficial as they are environmentally friendly and do not contain harmful toxins as well.
