Canada’s Plastic Ban: Why Businesses Are Switching to Compostable Garbage Bags

In recent years, the Canadian government has taken serious steps to reduce plastic waste across the country. Under the Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations launched in 2022, several common plastic items—including checkout bags, cutlery, and takeout containers—are being phased out. With full enforcement expected by 2025, Canadian businesses must now explore eco-friendly, compliant alternatives.

At ECO BLOOM, we provide certified compostable garbage bags to help restaurants, grocery stores, and hospitality businesses across Ontario meet these new standards without compromising on quality or function. Unlike traditional plastic bags that persist in landfills for hundreds of years, our compostable bags are made from plant-based materials and safely break down into nutrient-rich organic matter in commercial composting facilities.

It’s important to note that compostable is not the same as biodegradable. Compostable products must meet strict criteria to fully decompose without leaving behind toxins or microplastics. ECO BLOOM bags are certified under recognized Canadian and international standards for compostability.

With municipalities increasingly requiring compostable liners for green bin programs, switching now ensures your business stays compliant, supports local waste initiatives, and builds a greener brand image.

Make the switch today and show your customers that your business is part of the solution—not the problem.
