Abstract: An alternative of conventional plastic bag for biodegradable waste to compostable bags is the focus of the present paper. For a long time, ordinary plastic bags and sometimes biodegradable plastic bags are being used for household waste disposal. As a result, the garbage landfill sites are flooded with plastic bags which seem to be never degradable kind of material. Several researches have highlighted the hazards of plastic bags on land, human health, flora and fauna and environment in general. Feasibility of compostable bags is a ray of hope to protect the land, human health and the environment from the menace of plastic bags.
