Stock up on Compostable Yard Bags for This Fall!
August 7, 2024
It is hard to believe that summer is almost over in the Northern Hemisphere! That means fall yard cleanup time is just around the corner. With many local governments mandating the use of compostable yard waste bags and many homeowners eager to exercise environmental responsibility, now is a great time for stores and consumers to review some of their commercially compostable packaging options!
Eco Film® is a certified commercially compostable bag (TÜV Austria: #TA8012206688) designed to replace conventional plastic bags. It meets the EN 13432/ASTM D6400 standard for commercial composting and can be used for organics recycling or collecting yard waste.* When the bag is tossed into the commercial composting environment, it will degrade in a few months with no ecotoxicity to the soil. Since microorganisms are the means of biodegradation, Eco Film® is shelf and curb stable until exposed to this composting environment. Homeowners who want to take one step higher in their “sustainability score” can choose Eco Works® 10 bags,* TÜV Austria certified commercially compostable bags (TÜV Austria: #8012206692) similar to Eco Film® but with 10% biobased content.
Fall is coming with plenty of yard work ahead. Stock up now to make sure you have a good supply of commercially compostable yard waste bags for the soon-to increase demand. Contact Cortec® today to learn more about our commercially compostable packaging options for yard waste and beyond.
