A method for producing a biodegradable bag and for packing a food, such as
a snack food, which is required to have an oxygen barrier property and a
water vapor barrier property. The biodegradable bag can be produced at a
high speed by a bag making and packaging machine, which can be degraded
by naturally occurring microorganisms in soil or water finally to a
non-hazardous degradation product, which can be biorecycled, and which is
not accumulated in nature. The biodegradable bag for packing a food
comprises a laminated film obtainable by laminating in the following
order: a sealant layer comprising a biodegradable polymer; a barrier
layer having an oxygen barrier property and a water vapor barrier
property; and a barrier layer-supporting substrate layer comprising a
biodegradable polymer, the laminated film being heat-sealed in order for
the sealant layer to be inside.
