Everyone & Everywhere
Creating a positive environmental impact starts at home. Making small changes in how we collect our organic waste can collectively make a significant difference.
One such change is the switch to using compostable bags for collecting your food scraps. Surprisingly, organic waste like leftover food, peels, and skins is one of the top five threats to global warming. Every year, humankind produces almost 1 billion tons of organic waste worldwide from commercial kitchens, municipalities, institutions, and everyday life at home. By using a compostable bag to collect your food scraps and yard trimmings, the bag itself becomes part of resourceful waste it carries to a composting facility, anaerobic digester — or your backyard compost bin. When collected and handled separately, valuable resources within the organic waste are recovered by converting them into renewable energy or nutritious compost to grow new crops. This way, we give back to the Bioeconomy, not just take from it.
So please look at every scrap, a half-eaten potato, or a banana skin as the valuable resources they are. Small collective changes have a massive positive impact on the environment, so your behavior matters immensely.
Why use a compostable bag at home?
- Reduce microplastic pollution in our environment, compost, soil and agricultural fields, thus reducing plastic in our food and waterways.
- A small change to decrease conventional plastic production and demand.
- Fully compostable when used to collect organic waste and properly disposed of.
- Makes the collection of organics more hygienic and convenient.
- An easy tool to make a positive environmental impact and replenish our depleted soils.
How to use compostable bags at home?
In the kitchen, Biobags are ideal for collecting food scraps, coffee grounds, and other organic waste, keeping your kitchen clean and aiding in efficient waste sorting. For yard waste, they make it easy to gather leaves, grass clippings, and small branches, facilitating transport to compost bins or municipal collection points. Biobag shopping bags or produce bags brought home with groceries and produce can be reused for collecting organic waste, extending their life and further minimizing plastic waste.
Every small action adds up. Here’s how you can spread the impact:
- Look for tangible tools and products to help you make a personal change for the betterment of the earth.
- Replace the conventional plastic items you use with compostable alternatives where possible and where composting is available. Otherwise, try to start composting in your backyard or community garden.
- Think about all the microplastic pollution YOUR changes will eliminate.
- Buy products and visit stores, who like you, want to improve our communities and environment.
- Communicate that a small change, like switching to compostable bags, can have a big impact, and inspire people around you to follow your lead!
It’s a small change with a big impact, proving that together, we can actually create significant positive change!
