The Better Bag Company makes patented trash bags that pair an eye-catching appearance with leak-proof, tear-resistant strength. Its bags use d2w oxo-biodegradable technology, designed to begin breaking down in the presence of oxygen after their useful life, and are tested against ASTM D6954 and other international standards. The company’s range is suited to everyday, commercial, kitchen, and garden waste.

• OdorNoOdorNo makes American-made disposable bags with odor-barrier technology, designed to contain smells from everyday waste and other malodorous materials. Based in Avon, Ohio, the veteran-owned company positions its products as a social enterprise, pairing practical odor control with bags made without harsh chemicals and an emphasis on environmental responsibility. Its bags serve both household needs and commercial settings such as healthcare facilities, while also supporting private-label licensing and custom orders.ROCKY RIVER, OH

• Eco-Baggeez, LLCConceptualized by Beth Race after noticing how many plastic bags her family used for lunch, Eco-Baggeez makes resealable paper sandwich and snack bags as a U.S.-made alternative to plastic. Its pleated, PFAS-free bags use sustainable kraft paper that helps retain produce freshness while offering biodegradability in commercial compost facilities where available. The Cazenovia company also donates bags to organizations that provide food through outreach programs.CAZENOVIA, NY
• BioNatur PlasticsBioNatur Plastics manufactures flexible polyethylene films and packaging designed to remain recyclable where films are collected while biodegrading in anaerobic environments, including most landfills. Its proprietary organic additive attracts naturally occurring microorganisms that digest the plastic into water, dirt and gases rather than leaving microplastics. ASTM D5511 testing has shown up to 99.7% biodegradation in 1,697 days under anaerobic conditions, with total petroleum hydrocarbon testing finding no plastic remaining afterward.PORT WASHINGTON, NY
