Cascades, Kingsey Falls, Que., Canada, is launching a food waste bag made of 100% recycled fibers. The paper bags, manufactured in Canada, consist of a double layer to prevent leakage. With this bag, Cascades completes its collection of ecological household products, including yard waste bags that came out last September. Cascades notes that its bags are not only compostable, they are also EcoLogo-certified.
Cascades explains that the food waste bag was created to promote composting and encourage people to adopt this sustainable practice, keeping in mind Quebec's waste materials management policy to recycle 60% of organic matter by the year 2015.
Yard waste bags can be filled with yard trimmings and dead leaves, even if they're wet. These paper bags are an alternative to non-biodegradable plastic bags, and have a 30 lb. capacity for wet leaves and the ability to withstand 150 lb. of dry weight.
