Sustainable Lifestyle
This product helps promote a more sustainable lifestyle. Whether it encourages re-use and the movement away from disposable products, or it promotes sustainable actions like recycling and composting, this product can help you lower your environmental footprint.
Plant Based Resin
Plant Based Resins are used as an alternative to fully-synthetic plastics. Instead of using Petroleum as the main base ingredient to form plastic, some companies have started replacing a portion of the ingredients with plant and vegetable extracts. This lowers the amount of resources extracted to create purely synthetic products, and often provides a use for agricultural byproducts such as corn or flax. Some plant based resins are made from 100% plant materials, and can be composted in industrial facilities. EarthHero recommends checking with your local compost facility to determine which items are safe to compost.
Recycled Plastic
Recycled plastic utilizes salvaged post-industrial plastic scraps and post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers, and transforms them into new products. The containers are sorted, crushed, and then heated to form resins, which are liquid plastics that can harden into new shapes. These resins can be molded and used to create anything from carpet to outdoor furniture. Recycling plastic lowers the amount of petroleum extracted and the production of greenhouse gasses associated with first-time plastic production. Plus, by using these existing materials, we’re benefiting from the original energy and resources spent to create them in the first place, while diverting waste from the landfill.

I really wish I could keep supporting this brand, but the bags just don’t work for us. They don’t fit over the mouth of our trash can (the sort that is curved in front with a lid). Even more problematic is how easily they tear. My fingers punch through every time I pull it out of the can, regardless of how heavy it is, plus anything remotely with an edge. Maybe if they made larger ones I’d try again.

These bags are more substantial than other compostable/sustainable bags out there, but they still tear too easily. With litter to dispose of, I will not be repurchasing.

I wanted to love these trash bags, I adore the idea but they just didn’t work for my family. This would probably be great for people who have very light weight garbage but it just felt like no matter how mindful we were it would tear so badly we would need to double bag it. If the company were to offer a more durable type, I’d try it again in a heart beat!
