Beijing, July 30, according to the South American overseas Chinese newspaper network reported, completely soluble in water, not oil derivatives - Chilean inventors recently demonstrated a new plastic bag, the current production of plastic bags chemical formula has been modified to solve the environmental problems caused by traditional plastic bags.

reported that Chileans RobertoAstete (RobertoAstete) and Christian Olivares (CristianOlivares) recently made a demonstration of the new material for plastic bags.

They took out a plastic bag produced by the new material, the appearance looks very similar to the traditional plastic bag, and put the plastic bag into the container of water, a few seconds after stirring the liquid, found that the plastic bag was gone, and the aqueous solution was somewhat cloudy. Astetter then drank some of the solution from a glass, which dissolved the plastic bag, to prove the water was still drinkable.

"The base material for the new material comes from many sources, and we looked for ways to reduce production costs and tried products from multiple suppliers, both to ensure the quality of our product and to ensure that it does not harm the environment," Astetter said.

Astetter added: "This material, in addition to being environmentally friendly, people can decide when to dissolve it. You can use it as many times as needed and dissolve it when the bag is broken, rather than throwing it away."

Currently, Solubag, a Chilean company, produces water-soluble plastic bags in China. And they say they can do it anywhere in the world. However, the product has not yet reached the Chilean market, and they are in the process of establishing contacts with some manufacturers.
