If you’re aiming to reduce your reliance on single-use plastics, these fully compostable organic bags are an excellent choice.
The A-Zero bags (currently available on Kickstarter here) resemble traditional plastic bags but are crafted from vegetable starch. As per the campaign, these bags are entirely organic, eco-friendly, and decompose in just 18 months—a stark contrast to plastic bags that persist for centuries. Each bag showcases unique artwork by global artists.
You’ll find a variety of sizes to suit your needs. The smallest option, perfect for snacks and sandwiches, is leak-proof, freezer-safe, and microwave-friendly. A-Zero also offers leak-proof trash bags, sturdy grocery bags capable of holding up to 18 pounds, and a refillable bag dispenser that holds 20+ grocery bags and attaches conveniently to backpacks or purses.
While you may already own a reusable tote, it’s worth noting that these bags also negatively impact the environment. According to a 2011 British government study [PDF], the production of a single cotton bag results in a carbon footprint of 598.6 pounds of CO2 due to the water and energy required, whereas a plastic bag’s footprint is just 3.48 pounds.
A-Zero bags have already exceeded their initial $8000 goal, raising $22,522. You can still support this initiative and secure your own sustainable bags by visiting here. Contributions start at $29, and the campaign runs until April 11.
