BioTuf compostable Bags By Heritage Bag Available From US Foodservice San Francisco


Over the past 40 years, the Environmental Protection Agency reports that there is four times as much trash generated in the US, yet there are only one-fourth of the amount of landfills available.

Heritage Bag believes that the process of turning organic trash into compost, or “composting” will become a significant future trend in how the U.S. manages its almost 230 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste.

One of the key elements in managing that process is to have trash bags available that meet ASTM standards for biodegradable/compostability...so that the bags used for trash collection can turn into compost along with the rest of the organic trash in an actively managed compost facility. That’s why there’s Heritage BioTuf Compostable Bags!
