Mysuru: Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) has discovered the production technology of eco-friendly bags as an alternative to the plastic, and scientists have given information about the use of this technology on Thursday December 8 and released the technology to all.
DFRL Marketing Manager Santhosh Kumar said, DFRL’s technology is used to produce eco-friendly bags, straws, bowls, plates, etc., which naturally decomposes in the atmosphere within 180 days after use. Otherwise it will decompose in 45 to 60 days if put in bio-treatment plant. Bio degradable 5 kg carry bag is made using new technology. This will benefit for the daily use of common people and farmers. He said that it is a useful alternative to plastic.
