The Paper Option

Be part of the right food and yard waste cycle.

Diverting your food and yard waste from landfills is an important part of protecting the earth. Plastic bags do not decompose and pollute landfills – the proper diversion process requires packaging that is plastic free.

The BAG TO EARTH products are made from all-natural materials and are designed to disappear fully into the earth – helping complete the organic loop.

Canadian-owned and operated, BAG TO EARTH is aware of our dependence on the natural resources of our planet. We also know that the efficient management of our resources will have a tremendous impact on our way of life in the future.

The kraft paper bags that we produce are made from completely renewable resources. All the raw materials needed to construct them, including the glues and printing inks, are compostable. Trees are carefully managed through controlled felling and replanting. For every tree that is felled more trees are planted. This allows the natural environment of the forest to be maintained. The emission of oxygen and a higher rate of absorption of carbon dioxide by new growth trees help to control the greenhouse gases. Beyond this, the use of paper has a low environmental impact, compared to the life cycle of alternative materials, such as plastic.

In addition to the high standards we expect from our new fibre supply mills in regards to environmental, renewable and sustainable policies, BAG TO EARTH whenever possible uses high quality 100% kraft recycled paper in as many packaging applications as possible.
