              Why use If You Care compostable waste bags?
              Approximately 80 million tons of waste (US EPA figures) sent to landfill annually is material that can be turned into compost under the right conditions, including food scraps, pruning waste and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill, this trapped organic material (leaves, grass, etc.) releases methane gas - a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Diverting food scraps and trimmings from landfill to composting facilities – municipal or commercial in areas where available – contributes significantly to the conservation of our planet and natural resources.
