On one of the flyers (printedon paper) they said:Plastic bag does not emit toxic fumes when properly incinerated. When burned in waste-to energy plants, the resulting by-products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The bag is inert in landfills, when it does not contribute to leaching, bacterial or explosive gas problems. The bag photo-degrades in sunlight to the point that normal environmental factors of wind and rain will cause it to break into very small pieces.
