  PLA trash bag made from biodegradable plant material may seem like a good choice for the environmentally-conscious average consumer, but they do more than you might think. Eco-friendly garbage bags have long been a topic of debate among earth lovers who are truly aware of their impact on nature.

  Information on PLA trash bag
  While there are some options to reduce waste from garbage bags, they are not the best. You can opt for PLA trash bags made from 100% recycled, which means no new plastic is used to make products. But these will go into a landfill just like any other plastic bag. There are compostable/biodegradable options, though these tend to be more expensive and less robust. Seams break easily and bags don't really stretch. Plus, while "compostable" sounds promising, they don't decompose in landfills; The materials used to make these types of bags will be processed in high-temperature industrial composting facilities.
  Most landfills aren't heated enough for compost bags to decompose, which means they basically mummify along with the rest of the trash in the landfill. By the way, the same goes for "bioplastic" bags, cups and cutlery. One advantage of compostable bags is that they don't end up in tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean. But when you do see what's collected in the ocean, it's more likely to be shopping bags, water bottles and other disposable items that can easily blow away than full trash bags.
  
  Reduce waste
  Compost your kitchen waste. See if there is a New York City Health Department curbside pickup service in your community. If none of these options are for you, there are private companies that will arrange to pick up your food scraps, or creative home disposal solutions. If you live in an area with a backyard, you can keep a low-maintenance composting unit outside.
  Buy in bulk rather than prepackaged. Your local store may have a bulk section with dry storage and baked goods. This is a good place to test your new bag task; Bring bags, cans, and Tupperware, and be sure to weigh them before filling. This allows the cashier to charge you appropriately for the weight of the food you buy. Bonus: Buying in bulk is usually cheaper! Many companies also offer bulk refill programs for household products, so you can refill bottles at home and send/bring back empty bulk bottles.
  When you buy packaged items, try to use glass, metal, or paper to buy items. Glass and metal are easy to recycle, and if the paper gets stuck with food, it can be composted rather than recycled.
  Recycle all the little things you can! It's a long list, and it may seem overwhelming, but you won't do all of these things at once. If you start aiming for zero waste every time you need to buy something from a store or every time you need to buy something new at home, you will start to make a significant impact over time.
  
  Compostable PLA trash bags are made from natural plant starch and do not produce toxic substances when they decompose. With the help of water, carbon dioxide and biomass, the PLA trash bag decompose abnormally in the composting system. While we should all be staunch advocates of a zero-waste lifestyle, compostable bags are a better choice, but only if you absolutely have to.
