Is there a such thing as "cellulose acetate trash liners" that exists? I'm trying to get away from plastic!!

Question

To be enviromentally friendly and economically conscious. I have been looking around on the internet, but can't seem to find anything yet. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

Actually, look for bags made with starches.  cellulose acetate is film stock.  Here is something on them.

Recently, however, a new type of biodegradable resin has made its debut in the United States, called Plastarch Material (PSM). It is heat, water, and oil resistant and sees a 70% degradation in 90 days. Biodegradable plastics based on polylactic acid (once derived from dairy products, now from cereal crops such as maize) have entered the marketplace, for instance as polylactates as disposable sandwich packs.

An alternative to starch-based resins are additives such as Bio-Batch an additive that allows the manufacturers to make PE, PS, PP, PET, and PVC totally biodegradable in landfills where 94.8% of most plastics end up, according to the EPA's latest MSW report located under "Municipal Solid Waste in the United States": 2003 Data Tables.
