Even though plastic is a useful material, it is composed of toxic compounds that can cause illnesses, and it is not biodegradable.

Plastic pollution or the accumulation of plastic objects in the environment have adverse effects on animals, wildlife habitat, natural environment, and also humans.

Also, the product is so natural and safe that people can even drink its solution. If a bag accidentally gets into the sea, it will only take a few minutes for it to become part of the water, posing no threat to animals.
