Q. LDPE bags are they biodegradable?

Answer

Not completely. The intermolecular tensions of the polymer are weakened by the greater branching of LDPE compared to other forms of plastic material like HDPE. As a result it has more resilience and less tensile strength. The main reason for LDPE's low density is because its molecules are tightly packed together and have excessive branching which makes them less crystalline. Cheap density polythene (LDPE) which has outstanding mechanical capabilities water-repellent qualities is the most extensively used packing material because to its light weight low price and great energy efficiency. However because of its pervasiveness and resistance to biodegradation disposal techniques are important and need consideration. Microorganisms have recently drawn attention as a potential solution for the environmentally acceptable treatment of polymer and plastic -based trash.
