composting bags - the new Scotties?

Imagine a world without rolled toilet paper.


The advent of indoor toilets gave rise to a whole grocery aisle full of toilet paper of all colours, patterns and grades. And toilet paper rollers to match every decor...


Here we are at a similar moment of human history: the advent of municipal food scraps composting. This is going to open the door to a flood of new consumer products.


The Bag to Earth is made in Ontario.



The patented (US #6,524,667) design makes it "totally biodegradable and compostable" using a material that is locally abundant and renewable: Canadian wood pulp.




Will more Canadian companies recognize an historic opportunity and seize this market before Frankenplastics steal the niche?
