In July 2010 Earth Bags Australia commissioned Murdoch University to compare the carbon footprint on the environment to that of the polypropylene fibre bags.

In November 2010 RAUM International with the academic participation of Murdoch University conducted research on the biodegradability of the Bebak Bag as compared to the so called “green bags” in the market.

As featured on A Current Affair 28th January 2010 the popular green bags that are sold at major retailers and most other department stores and are so called Environmental / Eco/ Green bags (LDPE bags) are in fact produced from polypropylene, derived from a petroleum material which comprises large molecular weight polymers, coloured in heavy metals and chemicals which are extremely harmful to the environment and the bags will not break down for some 1000 years. They are then sold to the public as the answer to the plastic bag issue which is a misnomer.
