compost sites
At the compost site, our products improve compost quality. Because they are made of paper and free of plastic, they leave no contaminants. This enables each bag to help make Grade AA compost, which is worth considerably more to the operator/municipalities than compost with traces of plastic.

Are you debagging?
These photos were taken at a Canadian compost site. They show the manual labour involved in the process of plastic removal.

Is your community, collection system or compost site having to do this? If so, we have the solution for you.
It's important to separate all of the plastic so that the compost is not contaminated.
These bags are then collected and placed in bins for further disposal.
When a portion of the compost site is excavated, a plastic bag is revealed buried deep within it. Many decades from now, it will still be there.

There is no need for de-bagging kraft yard and food waste bags. They become part of the finished compost and ultimately part of the food chain. Stringent testing in Canada, the US and Europe has shown that the paper yard waste bag and the food waste bag have absolutely no negative impact on either the composting system or the finished compost. In fact results have shown that the bags actually enhance the soil's ability to grow. If you want a compost site that looks like the image on the right, call George Colgan at 1-800-366-6812 ext. 108.
