I would love to see biodegradable plastic garbage bags too, since everyone uses these on a daily basis. This would be another SG product to invest in!!

this is an area that we could all definitely benefit by. we throw out a ton of garbage on a weekly basis... i hope that this company hears us and develops a biodegradable bag... 13 gallons preferred by this consumer!

I shop at a store where they have biodegradable bags for produce; maybe garbage bags are next. In the meantime, the newspaper makes a great wrapping for food waste going into the yard/food waste container for compost. I remember my mom using the newspaper before the ubiquitous plastic bag. A biodegradable "plastic" bag would help cut down the odor in the can!

The term "biodegradable" is a misnomer and the most riduculous greenwash of our time. Imagine for a moment our landfills, which are no more than a clay lined hole in the ground. There "tombs" let nothing in (like moisture, air or sunlight) and they are designed to not allow anything exit (like leachate or contaminated water). So when a bag loaded with additives to make it disintegrate into tiny pieces hits the upper level of the landfill, it will need to degrade before the bulldozer rolls over it with another 3 foot layer of trash. If it fails to break down during that short period, then it remains intact with all the other material in the landfill. So we can stop fooling ourselves to assume that anything is degradable, photedegradable, biodegradable or oxodegradable. The material is either certified compostable which is diverted from the waste stream altogether or its trash/solid waste that cannot be recycled.
