Why Tellure exists
I started Tellure after trying nearly every compostable trash bag I could find. They were too thin, too weak, see-through or began breaking down before I was ready.
So I set out to make the bag I wanted to use: opaque black, made for a tall kitchen can, finished with a drawstring and strong enough for real life. Tellure is the result—a more considered everyday choice without giving up the function you expect.
