Commit to Green
At Commit to Green, we design smarter waste solutions for a cleaner future. From 100% compostable bags to food & beverage products, we help businesses and cities ditch plastic and embrace circular alternatives, one smart solution at a time.
Official WebsiteCities and businesses are facing mounting pressure to reduce single-use plastic and manage organic waste more effectively. Traditional packaging contributes heavily to landfill waste, ocean pollution, and missed opportunities for food waste diversion. There was a clear need for innovative, sustainable solutions that could engage and educate consumers while supporting municipal composting systems.
Amid growing global demand for environmentally responsible alternatives, we developed Commit to Green to meet the need for certified compostable products paired with actionable education.
Create compostable bags featuring custom educational infographic artwork that builds awareness, encourages proper waste sorting, and supports organics recycling initiatives. By designing products that are both functional and visually educational, we empower cities, businesses, and individuals to participate more easily in sustainability efforts.
Commit to Green offers a line of certified compostable bags integrated with educational graphics that simplify complex recycling and composting systems for consumers. These bags are designed for reuse, making the transition from purchase to compost facility seamless. In addition, Commit to Green provides smart waste solutions that help communities track their waste diversion impact, bridging the gap between consumer behavior and citywide sustainability goals.
