Compostable Garbage Bags support separate collection of organic waste. They are a convenient, clean and hygienic tool to help households collect more food residual waste from the kitchen while reducing contamination from conventional plastics in wet waste. They contribute to the full implementation of separate biowaste collection in households and have been shown to increase the material inputs required for biogas production in anaerobic digestion plants and for compost production in industrial composting facilities. Bio-compostable plastic bags serve a dual function that is not possible with conventional plastic bags: they can meet conventional carrying needs and can be used to collect biodegradable kitchen and food waste.
