MATERIALS
World Centric® waste bags are made from a mixture of synthetic and starch based plastics and printed with soy based inks.

ECO GEEK
From World Centric: Instead of using plastic made from petrochemicals and fossil fuels, compostable plastics are derived from renewable materials like corn, potato, and tapioca starches, cellulose, soy protein, and lactic acid. Compostable plastics are non-toxic and decompose back into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass when composted.

At What's Good, we understand that our trash isn't necessarily going to an industrial compost facility, it's going to a landfill. So which bag do you choose? One made from virgin plastic? One made from recycled plastic? Or one made from renewable materials? We say, the better option is the compostable, plant based plastic. As World Centric goes on to say: 

If you are choosing between certified compostable bioplastics that cannot be composted and traditional plastics, the life cycle analysis data shows that products made from a renewable resource, not petroleum-based plastic, are the most sustainable choice. This is true even if no composting option is available and the item must be sent to the landfill.

Instead of using petroleum-based plastics that create toxicity and environmental pollution, organizations and consumers can choose products made from compostable, renewable, and non-toxic bioplastics like PLA.

PACKAGING
Paper box made from 80% post-consumer recycled paperboard.

“When we are young, we think the whole world revolves around us - that is Ego Centric. As we grow, we connect with people who share our same religion or traditions - that is Ethno Centric. When we expand that connection to care about everyone on the planet - that is WORLD CENTRIC.”- Ken Wilber
