HoldOn Bags is helping to reduce the amount of trash bags themselves that clog up landfills with heavy-duty, 100% home-compostable trash bags. According to the company, 100 billion refuse bags are disposed of each year in America alone.

The durable bin bags set themselves apart from comparable options on the market with materials that break down in a matter of weeks rather than years. Once in a landfill and exposed to the sun, these bags will begin breaking down since they are made from a biodegradable polymer PBAT, cornstarch and polylactic acid. These bags from HoldOn won't emit toxic fumes or leave behind any microplastics, making them much gentler on the environment than other kinds of mainstream trash bags.
