While bio-bags and compost-friendly plastics are a much better alternative than your traditional plastics, for something as routine as collecting green waste I’d try to promote a non-disposable option. But as Helen has said, different things will work for different people.

They are pretty tough and afterwards just get eaten by the worms. Goes by the name of BioBag and comes with a plastic holder with a lid and can be found at most environmental shops.
