Biobag Biodegradable Trash Bags: Breaks down in weeks - not centuries!

Description

Disposing of waste while maintaining your green principals is sometimes a challenge. Large lawn, leaf and compost bags are typically made of plastic; even paper bags have their disadvantages since they take a lot of energy to process, and require the cutting of trees. Biobags take the guilt out of plastic bag use with their 100% compostable and biodegradable kitchen, lawn and leaf, and compost bags. Made primarily of corn starch, these bags break down in weeks, rather than centuries, like their chemically-ridden counterparts. All bag types have a large capacity and are durable enough to handle the toughest lawn care or composting jobs. They are also manufactured with extreme flexibility and are built to “breathe” so the composting or break down process happens faster and more efficiently. Give back to the planet the natural way, with Biobag biodegradable lawn, kitchen and compost products.

Features

• All Biobag products are made of 100% biodegradable products including corn starch and organic inks and dyes, eliminating the guilt or worry associated with plastic or even paper bags.
• There is no sacrifice in quality, since the materials have been manufactured to maintain a high level of durability and flexibility equivalent to less earth-friendly products
• BioBags breathe naturally, allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing the rate of bacterial build-up which causes odor.
• Because it is manufactured from natural materials, Biobag Compost bags will break down in weeks, not centuries under normal composting conditions.
• Though these bags are made from corn, they are completely shelf stable so you don’t have to worry about them breaking down in your pantry or shed.

Setup/Care

BioBags are designed to be composted and returned naturally back to the earth. If BioBags are placed in an “open” or “turned” landfill they will decompose at a rate similar to other biodegradable materials in the same setting. If BioBags are placed in an anaerobic (air-locked) landfill and deprived of oxygen and the existence of the micro-organisms that “eat” naturally biodegradable materials, their ability to decompose will be severely restricted. This is true of all biodegradable materials placed in this setting, including paper, yard waste and food waste.

Keep in mind that BioBags are designed for use as a composting material and they are to be returned naturally to the soil. This means that you need to expose them to plenty of oxygen so that they can biodegrade properly. If you place them in a compost bin and turn the compost regularly, this will aid in the process. Micro-organisms found in compost piles will also help to break down all biodegradable materials, including your BioBags.

How it Works

BioBags breathe naturally, allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing the rate of bacterial build-up which causes odor. When BioBags are used with the Max Air, the consumer has the ultimate system for food waste collection.

Craftsmanship

BioBag products are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification. The BPI logo is shown at the bottom of this page. Always look for the logo to assure the products you buy are truly biodegradable and compostable.
BioBag products meet the new California law, SB 1749, for biodegradable and compostable product claims. BioBags are certified GMO Free. Furthermore, we only source corn from countries that do not allow GMO testing.
No polyethylene is used in the production of BioBags.
BioBags are DEN certified for restricted use of metals in our soy-based inks and dyes.

Efficiency

BioBags will decompose in a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no harmful residues behind. BioBags will decompose in a natural setting at an extended rate comparable to other naturally biodegradable materials, such as paper, leaves and food waste. BioBags will biodegrade in both fresh and salt water. Australian studies suggest decomposition occurs between 8-14 months. We do not support placing any material in our oceans, lakes or waterways

Summary

Take the mess out of composting maintenance. The earth-minded folks at Biobags have developed an alternative to polyethylene/polypropylene based plastic bags. All their products are made primarily from cornstarch, so these 3 gallon compost bags are 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable, while still maintaining a durable composition. Once each bag is filled with composting materials, simply tie it closed and toss it into the compost bin with everything. Nature will do the rest
