That's why our compostable garbage bags aren't just friendly to the earth; they're part of it. Made from natural plant starch, they don't leave any nasty toxic material behind. The best part? In the right composting environment, these bags break down with the help of tiny microbes, turning into nutrient-rich compost without any hassle. 

How do compostable trash bags work?

The science behind our compostable plastic bags is pretty straightforward. Here's what you need to know. Unlike traditional trash bags in a landfill, compostable bags become a rich matter that helps plant life. The plant-based materials used in making the bags are the secret behind this phenomenon.

Our compostable garbage bags will readily decompose in the right environment. For instance, in a commercial composting facility, they transform, breaking down into water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter. So, by choosing these bags, you're not just getting rid of waste; you're contributing to the circle of life and reducing the global carbon footprint—one bag at a time.

It's crucial that these bags get to the right place for that Earth-friendly benefit!
