Great points, degradable plastic is NOT eco-friendly, and only biodegradable plastic bags that contain no plastic are truly eco-friendly. They’re costly to the consumer but they’re environmentally friendly.

For those of you not yet compositing but looking for an alternative to regular plastic garbage bags, I have a recommendation. The company I represent, Jig-A-Loo, has recently introduced a new line of plastic bags called EconoGreen that are made from:
100% recycled plastic
100% oxodegradable
100% recyclable.

These EconoGreen bags and drop cloths contain an additive that will completely break down within 2 years after use. Considerably less than traditional plastic bags and especially grocery bags that we often use as garbage bags.

For more information, visit our Jig-A-Loo website!

After visiting France several years ago, I realized how easy it is to purchase reusable grocery bags and get in the habit of using them. I use these shopping bags for all shopping. Afterward I realized that my weekly trash was far less. I now carry a clean cup when I leave home, just in case I need a latte or an iced tea. Bio-degradable trash bags are just now making their way to Hawaii, so we’re now dedicated to using them for our “landfill” trash. Simplifying our lives is not a task, but a good thing!

PLA, or plastic made of starch creates methane when it decays, reduces the food stocks in a world in which millions are hungry, and it is weak, expensive, and easily penetrated by water. Oxo-biodegradable plastic is a much better alternative for any bags not destined for a compost facility-see http://biogreenproducts.biz/whyoxo.html .

BioBags are a great way to reduce the amount of plastic in ladfills. I just bought some BioBags from http://www.YouShouldGoGreen.com and they work great. The price was right and they arrived very fast. Highly recommended site…

There are bags that don’t biodegrade - but are made from corn starch so are compostable. There’s even a machine being developed to home compost them in a matter of minutes. Compostable packaging is a big thing here with companies in the UK making all sorts of product like cutlery and tumblers - all 100% compostable
