Managing waste responsibly isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for your business too. With so many “eco-friendly” options on the market, it can be difficult to know which products actually make a difference. At Grale, we make it simple: our compostable waste bags combine sustainability, reliability, and compliance for businesses of all sizes.
The problem with conventional trash bags
Most traditional trash bags are made from virgin plastics, derived from fossil fuels. Producing these bags consumes significant energy, and after a short period of use, they often end up in landfills or incinerators, contributing to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
For businesses committed to sustainability, conventional plastic bags are no longer an acceptable choice.
Understanding compostable waste bags
Not all eco-friendly bags are created equal. Here’s how to differentiate between biodegradable, recycled, and compostable options:
Biodegradable bags:
These materials can break down over time with the help of microorganisms. However, in real-world conditions, such as landfills, many biodegradable bags do not fully decompose and may leave microplastics or other residues.
Recycled bags:
Made from post-consumer plastic, recycled bags reduce the need for virgin materials and help close the loop on existing waste. They are a step toward a circular economy, but remain fossil-based and are not biodegradable.
Compostable bags:
Grale compostable bags are made from 100% plant-based materials and are certified for industrial composting (EN 13432). They are designed to break down completely, leaving no toxic residues and transforming food and organic waste into nutrient-rich compost.
In short:
All compostable materials are biodegradable, but not all biodegradable materials are compostable. The term “biodegradable” is often misused in marketing, which is why at Grale, we use compostable - a scientifically verified, safer, and more transparent standard.
