According to city council there&#8217;s an estimated 3.7 million plastic bags used citywide everyday. \u00a0The problem is that 3 to 5 percent of those bags become hazardous to the environment as litter, get stuck in drains causing flooding, clogging landfills and jamming recycling machinery.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan said Keep Global\u00a0provides\u00a0more sustainable options for plastic bags, but they are not your ordinary bag.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our plastic bags are not plastic at all,&#8221; he said. \u00a0&#8220;They are compostable retail bags that are made of organic material.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These &#8220;compostable&#8221; retail bags are more friendlier to the environment because when they&#8217;re thrown out the bag will break down in a matter of months keeping the environment clean from litter unlike the current\u00a0plastic bags.<\/p>\n<div id=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Plastic bags will soon be replaced with reusable biodegradable or compostable bags.
