Transforming Waste: The TOMbag Revolution
In a world where single-use plastics dominate our lives, TOMbag emerges as a beacon of hope. This innovative Australian social enterprise is on a mission to eliminate single-use garbage bags, offering a sustainable alternative that not only benefits the environment but also enhances our daily lives. With a focus on reusability and sustainability, TOMbag is paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.

The Problem with Single-Use Plastics
Single-use plastics are everywhere. They are in our oceans, on our beaches, and even in our food chain. Each year, millions of marine animals and birds die due to plastic pollution. The statistics are staggering: it takes about 1,000 years for a single-use plastic bag to break down, and even then, it leaves behind toxic chemicals that pollute our environment. TOMbag aims to change this narrative by providing a sustainable solution that reduces our reliance on these harmful products.
Innovative Design for Everyday Use
The TOMbag reusable garbage bag is not just another eco-friendly product; it is a thoughtfully designed solution for modern living. Its tapered design allows for easy disposal of waste, while the adjustable cord ensures a snug fit around any garbage bin. The inner layer overlaps the carry handle, keeping it clean and hygienic. This attention to detail makes TOMbag a practical choice for both home and office use, eliminating the need for traditional, single-use garbage bags.
Commitment to Sustainability
TOMbag is more than just a product; it is a movement towards sustainability. As a certified B Corp, TOMbag is committed to social and environmental responsibility. The company donates a minimum of 3% of its revenues to charitable partners focused on environmental issues. Additionally, TOMbag participates in the circular economy by partnering with TerraCycle to recycle its products at the end of their life cycle. This commitment ensures that TOMbag not only reduces waste but also contributes positively to the planet.
Join the Movement
