Bio-gradable bags that look and feel like plastic !

PLASTIC! one of the most threatening word in the world currently.
Almost every piece of plastic we've ever made still exist in this world.Meanwhile a company in Indonesia,a country which overruns plastic waste has made an innovative invention of bag with a root vegetable named Yuca.
They've made a bag which looks and feels like plastic but 100% bio-gradable.It can dissolve in water and we can even drink it.This is not at all harmful for the environment.

Do you think Sri Lanka should start using this type of bags? Share your thoughts

Hey joker. I'm not talking about those cardboard boxes and paper bags.Just think of buying a cold drink or any cold item in a paper bag,the bag will get teared before we get home. Plastic like bags make sense in such cases.
And yes, plastic is everywhere. You cannot become Obama in just one night, we can't stop using plastics as a sudden.Small initiatives paves path to greater changes in future.
Think about it buddy

But the point is how to reduce it, People doesn't adopt to paper bags or cardboard box because those are not convenient to use. This bag which is mention by @Sheero is look a like of it so it will really give a break through.

I agree with your point Assassin, Paper bags and cardboard box are inconvenient for daily use. The government should give some convenient substitute for plastic then only people will adopt it.
