Bags

Plastno's compostable trash bags are made from cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT, materials that break down into compost over months instead of lingering in landfills for centuries. The bags contain no conventional polyethylene plastics, no bleaches in production, and nothing that needs sorting out before composting.

Yes! Plastno's 13-gallon compostable trash bags hold the same kitchen waste a conventional plastic bag handles, including food scraps, coffee grounds, wet paper, and regular household trash. The film flexes without tearing under typical kitchen loads. Each bag is built to perform like a standard plastic bag, then breaks down in a home or commercial compost bin instead of sitting in a landfill for centuries.

You can throw the full bag directly into your home compost bin since Plastno's compostable trash bags are TUV certified for home composting. The cornstarch, PLA, and PBAT blend breaks down alongside food scraps and yard waste, leaving no plastic residue. A typical bag composts over months under standard backyard conditions, depending on temperature and bin activity.

BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certifies that a product breaks down in commercial composting facilities under controlled conditions. TUV goes further by verifying home composting, confirming the product breaks down at the lower temperatures of a backyard bin. Plastno's compostable trash bags hold both, so you can compost them at home or send them to a municipal facility.

Compostable bags break down into compost in a defined time frame under certified conditions like BPI and TUV. Biodegradable is a broader, less-regulated term that just means a product breaks down eventually, with no time limit or certified end state. Plastno's compostable trash bags are independently certified for commercial facilities and home compost bins.
