Biosak Removes The Burden Of Plastic Garbage bags On Landfills

Calgary is among many Canadian cities committed to reducing landfill waste. Today, 80 percent of Calgary's waste ends up in the landfills, while 20 percent is recycled. However, the City of Calgary has an innovative recycling program called "80/20 by 2020" that aims to change that trend. They plan on recycling or recovering 80 percent of waste materials by 2020.

The program also includes the Leaf and Pumpkin Composting Program. This program sees the 32 participating depot locations and 3 city landfills collect more that 2,000 tonnes of compost each fall from leaves and pumpkins.

This soil booster with nutrients will be used in green spaces all around the city. It will also help to reduce greenhouse gases as millions of kilograms (or more) of organic material will be kept out of landfills. This information was found at the City of Calgary Website and on their Leaf and Pumpkin Composting Program pages. The link to this information is located at the bottom of this article.

Viable storage solution will support the Environment

Calgarians are committed to recycling and composting. However, it is worth visiting one of the city's collection sites to see if there are other viable options for transporting and storing the pumpkins. And the answer is a resounding YES!

The Biosak, a biodegradable and recyclable bag for kitchen waste and yard waste stands out as a standout product. Restmüllsäcke kaufen

Biosak's compostable bags are available in a variety of sizes

There are many compostable plastic bags on the market, but Biosak Compostable Plastic Bags are the best. W. Ralston Canada Inc. designed the bag and it is fully extruded. It is then formed and packaged in Canada. The bags come in several shapes and sizes and include kitchen container bags, curbside container liners, composting bags and mulch liners, liner bags for cat litter boxes and small scooper bags for picking up after you dog on walks. Biosak kitchen bags are available at all major retailers such as Costco and Home Depot, IGA, Superstores, Sobeys, Zellers, and IGA.

Bio-plastic material derived from corn, a renewable resource

Biosak bags are made with a new generation of bio-plastic derived from corn, a renewable resource. The bag is a breathable material that allows airborne moisture to pass through the bag and at the same time is watertight and waterproof.

If properly managed, compost sites can be used to break down organic matter in as little as 120 days. Biosak bags can also be completely eliminated in 120 days with no plastic residue. In fact, many bags disappear in as little as five days.

The kitchen container bags should be used for at least one month. However, it's recommended that they be replaced every three to five days to reduce the presence of insects and odors.
