According to scientists, after long research and investigation, the launch was made keeping in mind the factors like natural melting.
Keeping in view the objective of reducing the use of single use plastic to prevent environmental damage caused by the use of single use plastic and to protect the nature, Defense Research and Development Institute (DRDO) has collaborated with Acharya Nagarjuna University and Ecoelastic Pvt Ltd. On Friday, in partnership with S.O., India has launched eco-friendly biodegradable packaging products made from natural and plant based food grade ingredients. In this regard, DRDO and Ecoelastic Pvt Ltd said in a statement, “The bags are available in two forms, soluble and insoluble. They can decompose naturally in three months and will not cause any harm to the environment.
Let us tell you that at present, plastic bags made from petrochemicals used in the market are also very harmful for the environment because it takes years to decompose. In comparison, bags made by DRDO are more durable, economical and are a great alternative to single use plastic. Ram Manohar Babu, Director, Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), DRDO while talking to n media said that they are very proud to launch Ecolasting Packaging Products. He said, “The Government of India has decided to completely eliminate the use of single use plastic in the country by 2022 and these biodegradable packing bags will help us in that direction.”
According to the information, such eco-friendly products are very important for humans as well as nature. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam has approved the distribution of these bags. While addressing the media about this, Chief Scientist Dr. Veera Bhram, among the scientists who carried out this work, said that this product has been put forward after a lot of testing. This product has been created and tested after arriving at a correct formula. This bag has been made keeping in mind the factors like its capacity and natural decomposition and most importantly, the most durable product as an alternative to plastic, this bag will not harm even animals.
Let us tell you that according to Purushottam, Technical Director of Ecoelastic Private Limited, today we cannot avoid the use of plastic, so we need an alternative solution. The launched packing bag is the best and most durable alternative to single use plastic.
