Our biodegradable bags can degrade in a little over 2 years.

How long do biodegradable refuse sacks take to degrade?
d2w biodegradable plastic can be programmed to degrade in whatever timescale is required.
The average useful life of a carrier bag is designed to be about 18 months to allow for distribution, stocking, and re-use. Shorter or longer times are possible. During that time bags are often re-used for shopping or for use as bin-liners etc. Heat and light will accelerate the process, but they are not essential. Most of our biodegradable refuse sacks take between 12–24 months to completely degrade, but this time can be shortened if they are exposed to more heat or moisture.
100% natural ingredients that break down into biomass, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.
If discarded in the outdoor environment at the end of its useful life it will degrade and biodegrade much more quickly than conventional plastic. Timescales for the abiotic phase can be predicted by laboratory tests, but it is not necessary or possible to predict timescale for subsequent biodegradation.
