Cyberpac’s Dissolving Bags

While browsing on Environmental Graffiti blog, I stumbled across a new product developed by Cyberpac. The new product line is aimed at drastically reducing consumer waste while providing basic products that most of us use on a nearly daily basis. This particular product, ‘Harmless-Dissolve‘, is a “readily biodegradable, water soluble polymer which completely biodegrades in a composting environment, in a dishwasher or in a washing machine. It has no harmful residues and will biodegrade into naturally occurring substances [...] In the end the bag becomes carbon dioxide, water and biomass.”
There are a few more images after the jump…

The glue strip has to be removed; it is biodegradable but can not dissolve.

Then the bag can be placed in warm water.
