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.

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. 
• Box from 100% recycled board processed chlorine-free (PCF)

Completing the cycle

• Bags are certified compostable and can be home composted 
• Bags can be composted in municipal or commercial compost facilities where available 
• Cardboard box should be recycled

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

• Fits all standard tall kitchen 13-gallon pails 
• Use for compostable waste only
