- Need I say more?
Follow the experiment below to check whether your bag is another plastic bag or plant-based bag-
-
Dissolve it in hot water (80c and above). Organic material in Telobag dissolves in water. Plastic is made of synthetic material, does not readily dissolve in hot water.
-
Iron it. Telobag does not melt under heat from iron as it is not made of synthetic material. Plastic melt. And it is extremely hot.
-
Burn it. Plastic drips and melts when burnt, and shrinks into small, hard thermoplastic. Telobag does not melt, burns into organic ash.
