In California—especially in San Diego—sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. With mandates like SB 1383 in place, residents are required to separate organic waste from regular trash, making composting an essential daily habit. However, one key detail often goes overlooked: not all compostable products are truly compostable within our local systems.
Why Most “Compostable” Bags Fall Short
Many compostable liners on the market contain bioplastics. Despite being marketed as eco-friendly, these materials do not break down properly in San Diego’s composting facilities. This results in contamination, increased processing costs, and a reduced quality of the final compost product.
Enter EcoToss: A Better Way to Compost
EcoToss is a San Diego-based company that has designed paper liners specifically for our city's food waste program. Unlike the competition, EcoToss paper bags are made entirely from natural materials—pine and spruce fibers combined with potato starch—and contain no bioplastics or plasticizers.
This makes them fully compliant with San Diego's composting guidelines and ensures that they break down cleanly and efficiently.
