• Save valuable landfill space and extend landfill life
• Keep you ahead of environmental legislation
• Reduce the buildup of dangerous methane gas in landfill sites

100% Degradable Plastic• When Earthwise bags are exposed to sunlight or heat, a two-step degradation process is triggered that allows the plastic to breakdown through oxidation into smaller fragments.
• Over time, these fragments further convert to natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals.
• Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae will consume the smaller plastic fragments.
