Why cleaning has a plastic problem
Cleaning is one of the most plastic-heavy routines in the average home. Bottles, bags, sponges, and wipes get used for minutes and stick around for centuries. The plastic doesn't disappear, it just turns into microplastic in our landfills, our water, and our bodies.
The problem was never the mess, it was the waste
Cleaning itself has always been the easy part. The mess on your counter, the spill in the fridge, the dust on the windowsill, all of that has a fix. The harder problem is everything that comes with the cleaning. The bottles you toss out. The bags you keep replacing. The sponges that fall apart after three weeks. That's the part we set out to change.
Our products are designed so that cleaning your home doesn't quietly mess up the rest of the planet.
Third-party certified, not self-claimed
Every Plastno product is independently certified. Not by us. By organizations whose only job is verifying claims like the ones we make.
BPI Certified Compostable. Meets the North American standard for industrial composting. Plastno trash bags carry this certification and break down within roughly 180 days under composting conditions.
TUV Home Compostable. A stricter standard than BPI. It means a product breaks down in a backyard compost bin, not just an industrial facility. Our bags carry this on top of BPI.

What people ask before they switch
What is Plastno?
We make plastic-free versions of the cleaning stuff you already buy. Trash bags that compost instead of lasting for centuries. Cleaning tablets you drop into a bottle you keep refilling. Sponges made from loofah and cellulose instead of foam. Everything ships in paper.
What products does Plastno make?
Everything you clean the house with, minus the plastic. Compostable trash bags for the kitchen bin, the bathroom, and the one under your desk. Cleaning tablets that turn tap water into a refillable spray for sealed counters and stovetops. Biodegradable scrub and soak sponges. Reusable cloths and towels instead of paper towels. Buy one thing at a time, build a bundle, or put it on a subscription.
Why switch to plastic-free cleaning?
Look under your sink. Most of what is under there is plastic that gets used for a few weeks and thrown out. Cleaning is one of the easiest places in a house to stop buying plastic, because you are swapping things you already rebuy anyway.
Is Plastno carbon neutral?
Yes. Plastno has offset 100% of shipping emissions since 2022 through verified carbon removal partners, including Grassroots Carbon and Mast Reforestation. Carbon Direct verifies every offset, and the carbon-neutral commitment covers every Plastno order.
Where are Plastno products made?
Plastno products are designed in New York and manufactured by partner factories in China, all certified by BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) for fair labor and safer working conditions. Every partner facility is independently audited and required to keep that certification each year.
