13 gallon compostable trash bags for plastic-free kitchens
Plastno's 13 gallon compostable trash bags are made from cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT, a blend that holds the weight of a kitchen bag without the petroleum plastic of a conventional liner. They replace the polyethylene bags that linger in landfills and shed microplastics as they break down. Use them for kitchen trash, food scraps, compost collection, or recycling bin liners. Each bag is BPI certified for commercial composting and TUV certified to break down in a backyard compost.
How Plastno compostable trash bags work
1. Fill: Fill the bag with household waste, food scraps, or yard trimmings.
2. Tie: Tie the bag securely once full.
3. Toss: Add to a backyard compost pile, drop in a commercial compost bin, or take to the curb on pickup day.
Made from cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT
Cornstarch
Cornstarch is the plant-derived base that gives the bag its bulk and biodegradability. The same starch that thickens gravy, and that breaks down completely in backyard and commercial compost.
Polylactic Acid
PLA is made from plant sugars from corn and sugarcane. It performs like plastic in everyday use but breaks down under composting conditions, leaving no microplastic behind.
Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate
PBAT is petroleum-derived but engineered to compost. It adds the strength that cornstarch and PLA cannot deliver on their own, and it breaks down completely in BPI and TUV certified composting environments.
Switch to compostable trash bags today
Conventional plastic trash bags are made from petroleum and shed microplastics into landfills, soil, and waterways. Multiply 500 bags a year by every kitchen, and the scale of the plastic load is enormous. Plastno's 13 gallon compostable trash bags swap petroleum plastic for a cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT blend that's BPI and TUV certified for backyard and commercial compost.

Where these bags break down
What are Plastno compostable trash bags made from?
Plastno 13 gallon trash bags are made from cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT. Cornstarch and PLA are plant-derived; PBAT is petroleum-derived but engineered to compost. The blend is BPI certified for commercial composting and TUV certified for backyard composting. Packaging is plastic-free and recyclable.
How do I use Plastno compostable trash bags?
Fill, tie, and toss the same way you'd use a conventional bag. Drain excess liquid from wet waste so the bag stays stronger longer. Store the roll in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is about 12 months. Keep bags away from children and pets to avoid suffocation risk.
How are Plastno trash bags packaged and shipped?
Bags ship in plastic-free, recyclable paper packaging inside a curbside-recyclable cardboard box. Tape is paper-based, inks are water-based, and there's no plastic shrink wrap or filler. The bags sit inside the paper sleeve, not double-wrapped in plastic like most conventional brands.
How many bags come in a roll?
Each roll contains 30 bags. They're BPI and TUV certified compostable trash bags sized 24" wide by 28" tall at 1 mil thickness. They fit most standard tall kitchen trash bins, including the 13 gallon size. Shelf life is about 12 months from the date of purchase.
Will these bags break down in a backyard compost?
Yes. Plastno trash bags are TUV certified OK Compost HOME, which means they're validated to break down in a backyard compost pile. They're also BPI certified for commercial composting facilities. Breakdown in a sealed landfill is slower and not certified, so backyard or commercial compost is the right disposal path.
