Highlights
Why It Gets Our Seal of Approval
  • Sampler set of three sizes - save 17% when you buy the set!
  • 100%-biodegradable garbage bags
  • Made of 100%-recycled plastic
  • Sturdy and tear-resistant
  • Reduces the amount of plastic that remains in landfills for thousands of years
  • Minimal packaging
  • Made in the USA

Our innovative, biodegradable plastic trash bags are infused with a natural additive that allows the plastic to biodegrade completely into natural elements. They're made in the USA, manufactured from recycled plastic waste. At reuseit.com, it's not just our mission to help you cut consumption - we also want to help you reduce the impact of things you DO have to consume.

This set of three different sized bags (4-gallon, 13-gallon and 30-gallon) comes with minimal packaging and no twist ties - to close the bags, simply tie the tops into a knot.

According to EPI Global, the the additive's manufacturer, the trash bags will completely biodegrade (decomposing into simpler materials found in nature) when discarded in soil in the presence of micro-organisms. In a landfill, the bags will degrade within 12-24 months. Minimal packaging - each set of bags comes in a roll secured by a paper wrapper. Available in 4 gallon small, 13 gallon tall kitchen and 30 gallon lawn bags and don't include ties. To find out more about EPI's environment benefits

Sustainability
Let's face it, garbage bags are one of those things that can be hard to eliminate from even the most ardent reusable lifestyle. Our 100%-recycled, biodegradable trash bags are a great alternative to traditional trash bags, helping minimize the impact of the bags you do consume. Not only are they made of recycled waste, the bags also biodegrade completely into natural elements, unlike regular plastic bags which only photo-degrade and remain in landfills for thousands of years.

4.0 Good alternative

Comments about Product:

It's so nice to have a good alternative to the usual plastic trash bags! Very glad I found these. They are a little less strong than some traditional bags, but perfectly serviceable - I just make sure I don't overstuff them too much. Which is probably a good thing anyway. Well worth switching to have a biodegradable alternative. Thanks reuseit!

5.0 A nice alternative

Comments about Product:

I've been using these bags for about a month now and have been really happy with them. To compensate for the lack of twist ties I just don't fill them, leaving room to tie them off at the top. I really like that they're made from recycled plastic and will break down completely in the landfill.
