Making the best compostable trash bags is our calling

Why? Because plastic is a problem. Trash bags might not be the most glamorous calling. But taking out the trash is a dirty job, and someone’s gotta do it. By bringing you the best compostable trash bags possible, we make it easier than ever to say no to single-use plastic bags. Here are a few facts that motivated our mission.

Non-biodegradable garbage bags are everywhere

Plastic is everywhere

For every second that ticks by, 160,000 plastic bags are used around the world. Put them all together, and they could smother the world, seven times over. Scary stuff. 

Non-compostable trash bags are permanent

Plastic is permanent

Well, nearly permanent. It takes an entire millennium (1,000 years) for the average plastic bag to break down, bleeding toxic gases and leaving toxic microplastics behind. 

Non-biodegradable garbage bags pollutes the air

Plastic pollutes our air

Plastic bags are made from petroleum, natural gas, and other eco-nasties. Their production ensures millions of tons of CO2 are allowed to billow into the atmosphere each year.

Non-compostable trash bags poisons oceans

Plastic poisons our water

It’s a well-known fact that plastic kills marine life. But did you know micro and nano plastics in the water we drink lead us to ingest the equivalent of 50 plastic bags per year? Yuck.

Stretching a Plastno compostable garbage bag

At Plastno, we say no to plastic

Once we learned the cold hard facts about single-use plastic bags, we set about doing something about it. We knew trash bags were an essential part of everyday living, but we thought to ourselves “Do they need to be made from plastic? No, they don’t!” And that’s how Plastno was born. 

Our goal is to keep investing in eco-friendly innovation to bring you the best compostable trash bags possible. Bags that are just as strong and durable as they are safe for the planet.

A tough bag to follow

Unlike any old biodegradable garbage bag, ours are fully compostable too. This means they meet strict requirements to break down within a specific timeframe, leaving nothing toxic behind. 

We believe they are the best compostable trash bags you can buy because they’re super strong (just read our reviews), and fully decompose both at home and in commercial facilities. Also, unlike other brands, we made ours white – so your garbage doesn’t stick out like a green thumb.
