Most carry literature is about bags you choose. This volume is about bags that arrive: the drawer to the right of the fridge, the hook on the back of the broom-closet door, the stash that no one curated but still teaches material behavior under load. Its trash tier extends that reading to engineered can liners, contractor film, and compostable or biocompostable alternatives.
