Why Use If You Care Certified Compostable Bags?
About 80 million tons of waste (U.S. EPA figures) which goes to landfill annually is material which under the right conditions, can be turned into compost, including food scraps, yard waste and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill environment, this organic material releases methane-a greenhouse gas-contributing to global warming. Diverting food scraps and yard waste from landfill to compost facilities-either municipal or commercial-contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources.
Healthy Home, Healthy Planet, Healthy You
Those are big promises, but you can't have one without the others, so here's our thinking...
Like it or not, we are all intimately connected within our world. Choices we make affect us all, even the choice of products you use for cleaning. If you care about your choices, so do we. And when we care, we all benefit...
Product Lifecycle
Choosing our materials
- Blended with certified fully compostable polymer.
- Starch from "starch potatoes" grown for starch, not for food.
- No plasticizers. Plasticizers migrate, which deteriorates mechanical properties of bags. We don't use them.
Supporting our world
- Certified compostable.
- No plasticizers and no polyethylene.
- Starch from potatoes grown only for starch- no diversion from food supply.
- Potato starch uses less water than corn starch- no irrigation needed .
- 40% less land is required to produce same quantity of starch from potatoes as from corn.
Caring for your home
- Perfect for kitchen counter compost pails.
- Line compost pails with bags to collect food scraps and food waste.
- Use for compostable waste only.
- Bags along with food scraps can be composted.
Completing the cycle
