Why Choose Beyond Green?

100% natural and chemical-free, non-PLA/non-PE compostable bags beyondGREEN has been leading the way in innovative sustainable material technology in efforts to aid in the movement on reducing single-use plastic pollution. With products made in the USA, beyondGREEN has been able to provide consumers with quality-controlled sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics to aid in environmental and social goals.

The beyondGREEN Difference: Made with natural, renewable material and packaged in recycled material, beyondGREEN’s patented vegetable blend promotes minimized pollution and supports sustainable development goals. This allows beyondGREEN’s organic material to naturally breakdown in the environment and serve as food to be consumed by micro-organisms, supporting a circular lifecycle which works in harmony with the environment. In a market flooded with “green-washed” plastics, beyondGREEN is the trusted alternative backed by certifications from various organizations supporting their claims. BeyondGREEN is more than just a product, it is a movement focused on educating consumers on the effects that single-use plastics have on the environment, in hopes of a future without eco-destructive products.

The Problem:

Single-use plastics have been polluting our planet for decades now, and the pollution issue has only been getting worse each year. Here are some numbers to help understand the seriousness of single-use plastic pollution:

• Plastics make-up 90% of all marine debris
• Only about 1% of all plastics are ever returned for recycling
• It takes 500 years or more for plastics to degrade
• 5.25 Trillion macro and micro-plastic pieces floating in the open ocean, weighing approximately 269 tons!
• Everyday approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans
