Multi-use plastic bags have brought about new challenges relating to food poisoning, given the ability to bacteria from food packaging to breed inside the bags and potentially contaminate future products, food preparation surfaces, or human hands. Tests show that bacteria can survive in an ordinary reusable plastic bag for up to eight weeks.
Anti-microbial plastic bags are manufactured to incorporate Biomaster® silver anti-microbial technology in film extrusion process. The technology inhibits the growth of dangerous bacteria and helps prevent cross-contamination in multi-use plastic bags.
Anti-microbial technology can be widely used in different types of plastic bags from shopping plastic bags to household bin liners.
Anti-microbial garbage bags are proven to reduce growth of harmful bacteria by up to 99.99%. An enhanced scent additive can be added to help mask unpleasant odors, both inside and outside garbage bags.
