Heavy-Duty Compostable Materials
Large trash bags require stronger film performance than standard kitchen liners.
Our compostable garbage bags are produced using advanced biodegradable materials including:
- PLA – plant-based polymer derived from renewable resources
- PBAT – flexible biodegradable polymer that improves durability
These materials are blended during film extrusion to achieve:
- improved puncture resistance
- strong tear performance
- reliable sealing strength
- certified compostability
Compared with traditional plastic garbage bags, compostable trash bags are designed to break down in industrial composting systems while maintaining performance during use.
