The Benefits of Choosing Compostable Bags from Dr. Earth

Opting for compostable bags offers several benefits beyond their intended use:

1. Supports a Circular Economy:
   Plastic bags that are compostable have the full abilities of a compost by remitting back nutrients to the soil in the process.

2. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions:
   This is because compostable bags contribute towards reducing demand for the production of new plastics, which are known to emit greenhouse gases. Also, recycling of organic matter contributes to a decrease in methane, which is a major gas affecting the greenhouse effect as it is formed when organic substances undergo fermentation in landfills.
   
   
3. Less dependence on fossil fuels:
   The normal plastic bags are produce from non-renewable sources of raw such as petroleum. Compostable bags are made from renewable resources and do not pull on the world’s limited supply of oil; bags have a lower carbon footprint.
   
   
4. Promotes soil health:
   Compostable bags are eco-friendly because, when they disintegrate, they contribute to the improvement of the soil through adding organic matter. It is useful in enhancing the physical mud of the soils, water intake by the soils and overall stable plant growth.
