All you need is:
- Regular trash bags with handles
- Compostable cornstarch bags with handles
- Trash can
- Glue gun + glue for it
- Two plastic caps
Procedure step by step
1. Plug in the glue gun so that it gets hot and glue one of the caps to the upper edge. See picture.
2. Attach the compostable bag and then measure where cap 2 should be placed (opposite the first) and then attach the handles to the other bag when the glue has dried. It takes very little time!
Done – it's not harder than that
You have now made it easy to do the right thing! A trash can with two bags, two compartments means that not everything ends up in the same bin and you can sort compostable waste in the biodegradable corn bag, and plastic in the other. In the same way you can of course put in other bags to sort other things. This example provided one compostable and one for plastic – paper collection is separate in this case so this was simply needed to make it easy to do the right thing!
