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!
