Trash bags made from… trash? You bet. Every year, over 400 million tons of plastics are produced — but only a small fraction of them are turned into something new. By choosing trash bags made from 100% recycled materials, you’re helping give old plastic a second life.

Nope. But hear us out.When recycled plastic waste goes to landfill, it produces very little methane over time. “Biodegradable” bags, on the other hand, need oxygen and sunlight to biodegrade. In landfill, they’re sealed off from both, so they break down slowly, releasing methane as they go. (Quick refresher: Methane is a super potent greenhouse gas. The same one cows release when they burp!) Research shows that in these conditions, recycled plastic — which doesn't break down anaerobically — can actually have a lower global warming footprint. It’s a counterintuitive (but science backed) win!
Check your trash can’s capacity. It’s usually listed in gallons (gal) and stamped on the bottom. Most standard kitchen bins work well with our Tall Kitchen trash bags (13-gallon). For your home office, bedroom and bathroom bins, our small bags (4-gallon) are a tip top choice.
