Plastic has penetrated our lives in every single aspect of life – be it in the grocery shopping, food storage, cleaning or waste disposal. There is a world of unhappiness that is behind that convenience. Plastic waste is produced in millions of tons annually, adding to the heaps of junk and waste in the oceans – killing wildlife and polluting the earth and our oceans.

The positive thing about it is that small lifestyle changes can help us to make a difference. As an illustration, when you use compostable bags, you will reduce the terrible plastic garbage at the domestic level and will encourage a cleaner and greener environment.

Sustainability at home, that is the way we do things at Dr Earth. You can easily go plastic-free without giving up quality and convenience because our 100 percent compostable and biodegradable bags are easy to use.

Here are 10 actionable tips to help you make your household plastic-free by using compostable bags.

1. Replace Plastic Garbage Bags with Compostable Ones

You can begin your plastic-free life easily by disposing of your regular plastic rubbish garbage bags and using Dr Earth compostable garbage bags.

2. Use Compostable Carry Bags for Shopping

When you go to the market to buy groceries, clothing, or anything else on a single-use branded plastic carry bag, you’re continually adding to the amount of plastic waste in the environment.   Instead, get in the habit of carrying a compostable carry bag from Dr Earth, anytime you leave the house to go shopping.  These carry bags are strong, reusable, and made from natural materials such as cornstarch.  You can fold them up quite small and put them into your handbag or car.  When it’s time to buy your groceries or youre out shopping for new clothes, just say no to plastic, and reach for a compostable bag instead.

Not only will it reduce your carbon footprint, but it provides organic fertilizer for your plants. What a great zero-waste habit!
