About Us: <br /> At the core of who we are is the desire to do good, be good and spread good to people, communities, and the environment; Our company was founded on these values and they still guide us today. It is through conscious intention that we offer the cleanest disposal method available, in the cleanest way possible. Our commitment to excellence makes MaskIT tampon disposal bags the premier choice for anyone who wants the best. <br /> MaskIT Sustainability: <br /> We love our planet and do everything we can to reduce our ecological footprint. MaskIT disposal bags are made with plant-based biofilm, derived from the starches of plants and vegetables (mostly potatoes). Our potato-based biofilm does NOT contain any polyethylene or plastic materials whatsoever. In fact, our biofilm can be consumed by microorganisms that naturally live in our soil. Our packaging is made with 100% post-consumer paper and is printed with soy-based ink in a facility that operates on 100% renewable energy.<br /> Why not just use toilet paper?<br /> It requires about 37 gallons of water, 1.3 KW hours of electricity, and about 1.5 lbs of wood to make one roll of toilet paper. Americans use about 34 million rolls of toilet paper every day. It takes 10-20 years for a tree to mature enough to harvest for toilet paper. In contrast, the plant-based biofilm we use for MaskIT is made with potatoes that have an 80-day growth cycle, making MaskIT Tampon Disposal Bags much more sustainable. <br /> The bottom line is that toilet paper requires an unreasonable amount of resources to produce.<br />
