“After 23 years in the Plumbing Trade, I’ve found yet another product that I will stand behind because it makes SENSE! The United States EPA; Every Municipal Waste Treatment Facility in the U.S., Pump Manufacturers, Plumbers, Drain Cleaners, Septic System Installers, and Waste Pumping Companies all recommend refraining from disposing of feminine hygiene products down toilets. Any solid matter put down a toilet or drainpipe has the potential to cause blockages in both private sanitary drainage system ”

Scensibles, personal disposal bags now made with 50% post consumer recycled plastics, and later in 2024 will be 100% post consumer recycled plastic materials. Post consumer recycled plastics are found to have a much smaller carbon footprint than virgin plastics. When plastics are reused and made into new products, the production process does not require fossil fuels as raw materials, which has untold ecological benefits.
Scensibles® SecureFit360® Liner Bags High Density 11 Microns result in 60% less plastic to the landfill with the removal of center die-cut and thinner material than the prior liners.
HD SecureFit sends 50% less material weight to landfills than Kraft waxed liner bags that are coated with petroleum-based paraffin.
Scensibles refill boxes are made of post consumer recycled materials and can be recycled.
PLANT-BASED biofilm trash bags are designed to be used to dispose of organic waste and then composted only. period.
No matter how snazzy the bag material is, depositing plant-based (i.e. compostable) trash bags in a landfill negates nearly all of the beneficial impact of making them from plant-based materials."
"In order for organic matter (like the plant-based material of the compostable trash bag) to decompose in an eco-friendly way, it needs oxygen and water throughout the decomposition process. Even basic food scraps don’t break down properly in a landfill because they are buried under waste in an environment void of sufficient oxygen. Without oxygen, organic matter (like plant-based trash bags) decomposes and generates methane, a greenhouse gas that’s approximately 25-30 times more potent than carbon dioxide. In other words, sending organic matter to landfills is pretty terrible for the environment.
