Bag breakdown

Bag breakdown

I found this plastic shopping bag (see photo), which was full of other plastic bags, stored in the bottom of a wardrobe. Though the bag is labelled as “100% degradable”, I wonder why it should start to degrade in the absence of light or moisture, and especially why the red parts should degrade first.
