Zero net

CO₂ release

CO₂ released into the atmosphere by incinerating diesel, gasoline or PE/PP etc, adding degradable additives to accelerate degradation or allowing them to degrade naturally takes between minutes and 10+ years respectively (all are known as CO₂ generators).  However, absorption of CO₂ by plants to become fossil resources again takes more than 10⁶ years. 

The current imbalance between the rates of CO₂ creation and absorption by the environment produces a NET release of CO₂ to the Earth at alarming speed.  Conventional plastics (like PE, PP, PS etc and PE with 1-3% degradable additives added) are typical examples of net CO₂ generators.

The use of EnbioMat bags can substantially reduce the environmental absorption process during photosynthesis to become starch again in 1 or 2 years, giving rise to close to zero NET release of CO₂ to the Earth.
