100% Recycled Trash Bags

Nope! We’ve priced these bags to make sure we are competitive on a cost per bag basis. We also made sure there are more bags per roll as this was something our customers told us was important to them.

One thing we love about recycled plastic is how durable it is. We’ve done extensive product testing and can safely say that they are super strong and leak / tear resistant.

Currently, drawstrings can’t be made from recycled plastic for technical and manufacturing reasons. We could have chosen to use new plastic, but instead chose tie handles so our bags contain 100% recycled content. Tie handles are also much sturdier than drawstrings which often break with heavier loads.

It’s always best to reuse, recycle, or compost when possible. However, some waste will inevitably end up in landfills. Landfills are designed to prevent biodegradation, because when materials do degrade in them, they produce more methane. Because of this, recycled plastic is the more sustainable option since it generates very minimal methane over long time periods. Compostable starch plastic bags have a large climate impact when put into landfills since they generate methane when they biodegrade, and should only be used when they end up at a compost facility.

Love Island. Next question.
