Eco-Friendly Plastic Bags

Not all plastic bags are created equally

We have taken many steps to move away from products which can cause further damage to the world we live in.
One of the most serious offenders of the environment is our reliance on single-use plastic products, such as plastic bags. Fortunately, advances in technology have allowed us to create much safer alternatives to the traditional plastic bag.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

Biodegradable plastic bags are able to complete this process in a fraction of the time that traditional, or “normal” bags need.

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

OXO-BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC BAGS

  • Made with components that cause increased degradation speed
  • Can degrade in the open environment (no special facility required)
  • Can be fully broken down in 12 – 18 months

COMPOSTABLE PLASTIC BAGS

  • Made from natural (vegetable-based) fibers, such as corn or wheat
  • Require less energy to produce
  • Carbon-neutral
  • Can be fully broken down in 4 – 12 months, under proper conditions
  • Must be composted in special facilities (not at your home!)
  • Can potentially be more expensive to produce
