Trash Bags and Can Liners (GS-60)

Summary: Green Seal is developing an environmental leadership standard for trash bags and can liners to reduce plastic pollution and carbon emissions. By verifying that products reduce virgin plastic while still providing uncompromising performance, Green Seal can play a critical role in recognizing producers who are environmental leaders in their industry and providing buyers with reliable low-carbon options in this product category.

Status: The public comment period closed on January 29, 2023. Green Seal is now reviewing stakeholder input.
