Are GLAD Trash Bags biodegradable?
GLAD Trash Bags are not biodegradable. The trash bags are intended to be disposed in a landfill and landfills are built to inhibit biodegradation. The important issue with landfills is their decreasing number and limited capacity. To reduce the amount of plastic going to a landfill, GLAD continually is looking at ways to make the trash bags thinner and stronger. In addition, GLAD will use recycled plastic in their trash bag production when this plastic is available. By using recycled plastic, it helps reduce the amount of plastic that might enter a landfill.
