He stated that the plastic bags produced by this industry will play a significant role in reducing environmental pollution. 

He further explained that compared to other plastic bags, the bags produced by this industry will decompose automatically within 90 days when exposed to open air, water, or soil.

Mahaseth also mentioned that burning the bio-plastic bags produced by this industry will turn them into ash instantly, causing no harm to the environment. Currently, the industry is using machinery capable of producing 800 kilograms of bio-plastic bags daily.
