Fashion For Good Launches the Home-Compostable Polybag Project

News- Fashion for Good (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) launches the Home-Compostable Polybag Project, a pilot to test alternatives to conventional single-use polybags.

These bags are made with biobased material to lessen fossil fuel consumption and are designed to compost in either home or municipal composting environments.

An estimated 180 billion polybags are produced every year to store, transport, and protect apparel and footwear. Conventional virgin polybags have a high carbon footprint and low recycling rates across the globe. Conventional bags are commonly incinerated, landfilled, or subject to environmental leakage, harming natural systems.

The home-compostable polybags used in this project contain 23–25 % biobased content generated from feedstocks such as food crops, organic waste and wood pulp.
