So i was thinking…how safe are those new rhino strength GLAD trash bags? Let me look up the name.. ForceFlex

These things say to be indestructable. But what about what happens in the landfill?

Let’s go over the FAQs.
ah. hah! here we go.. copy/pasting:

Are GLAD Trash Bags biodegradable?
GLAD Trash Bags are not biodegradable. The trash bags are intended to be disposed in a landfill and landfills are built to inhibit biodegradation. The important issue with landfills is their decreasing number and limited capacity. To reduce the amount of plastic going to a landfill, GLAD continually is looking at ways to make the trash bags thinner and stronger. In addition, GLAD will use recycled plastic in their trash bag production when this plastic is available. By using recycled plastic, it helps reduce the amount of plastic that might enter a landfil

How do you all feel about this concept? I’m thinking that at the end of the day it isn’t all that bad. If the landfills inhibit biodegration, then what’s the point. As long as you don’t dump the ForceFlex® into the Miami River then we should all be ok.

Upon further reading i’ve found some interesting ForceFlex® tidbits.
