Welcome to Bio Green’s guide on selecting the perfect compostable bag for your home. As pioneers in eco-friendly solutions, we understand that making sustainable choices can sometimes feel overwhelming. Let’s break it down together and help you make an informed decision that’s good for both your household and our planet.

What Are Compostable Bags Made Of?

Compostable bags are the new innovative nature-sciences blend, composed of carefully selected plant-based materials that return completely to the earth. Bio Green employs a specialized mix of natural ingredients, mainly comprised of cornstarch from sustainable farms, potato starch from our agricultural partners, and our patented PLA (Polylactic Acid) from cassava roots. These renewable resources undergo a very careful manufacturing process that retains their natural properties while attaining the durability required for everyday use. We add organic strengthening compounds and natural binding agents to these base materials, ensuring our bags remain intact until they are ready to decompose. What makes our bags truly special is that every component, from the main materials to the smallest additive, is selected specifically for its ability to break down completely into nutrients that enrich the soil, leaving absolutely no harmful residues behind.

How Do Compostable Bags Decompose?

The decomposition process of our compostable bags mirrors nature’s own recycling system, much like how fallen leaves transform into rich soil. When placed in composting conditions, these bags undergo a fascinating three-stage transformation process. Initially, the naturally present moisture and beneficial microorganisms begin to soften the bag’s structure, recognizing it as organic matter. As the process continues, specialized enzymes produced by these microorganisms break down the complex molecular structures into simpler compounds. Under the right conditions with optimal moisture, temperature around 55-60°C, and the presence of these beneficial microorganisms, our bags transform completely within 180 days. This transformation process converts the entire bags into water, CO2, and nutrient-rich biomass actively contributing to soil fertility. The end result is the disappearance of the bag but is also the making of precious compost that enhances the structure of soil and supports the healthy growth of plants, indeed nature’s perfect recycling system.

Benefits of Using Compostable Bags

Environmental Impact: Our compostable bags return to nature in a matter of months without leaving any toxic residue, unlike traditional plastic bags that take hundreds of years.
Low Carbon Footprint: The energy input for producing our bags is much lower than that for making traditional plastic bags, thus contributing to the combat against climate change.
Nutrient-Rich Compost: These bags will give several much-needed nutrients to your soil while decomposing, thus promoting healthy plant growth in your garden.
Microplastics: In contrast to certain so-called “eco-friendly” alternatives, real compostable bags don’t turn into toxic microplastics, polluting our soil or water.
Variable Usability: These bags are capacious enough for kitchen waste, garden flammable waste, and everything in between.

Types of Compostable Bags for Different Household Needs

Kitchen Waste Bags: Small to medium-sized, are resistant to moist food scraps and once-a-day kitchen waste, good for countertop compost bins.
Garden Waste Bags: Tougher and more robust bags for collecting heavy loads of leaves, grass clippings, and more yard waste.
Produce Storage Bags: Breathable bags that provide ideal storage conditions for fruits and vegetables to prolong shelf life and are environmentally responsible.
Pet Waste Bags: Specifically made for picking up after exchange, these extra-thick, leak-proof bags combine convenience with environmental responsibili
Multi-Purpose Storage Bags: Medium-sized bags, ideal for all varieties of household chores, from holding dry goods to combining recyclables.

Factors to Consider While Choosing a Compostable Bag

When choosing compostable bags please pay attention to:

Bag size and capacity: It should match to your specifications and the size of your waste bin.
Bag strength and durability: It must be addressed before knowing the type of waste that will be used in your trash bag.
Certification: Seek accreditation for compostable cases, including EN13432 or ASTM D6400.
Storage conditions would need to favor bags that would comply with your ambient climate and storage setting.
Intended use: Different applications call for different specifications.
Value for money: Focus on long-term value rather than merely looking at the price of the purchase.

FAQs

Q: What type of bag should I use for a compost bin?

A: Certified compostable bags fit to the size of your bin are recommended. Our medium-duty kitchen waste bags are ideal for kitchen scraps, while more durable garden waste bags may be required for larger yard waste.

Q: How do you know if a bag is compostable?

A: Certifications such as EN13432 or ASTM D6400 are required on packaging. All Bio Green bags have these certifications and our unique eco-labeling.

Q: What is a compostable bag, and how does it differ from a biodegradable bag?

A: Compostable bags biodegrade completely into natural elements within a defined timeframe, usually 180 days, leaving no toxic residue. A biodegradable bag eventually may break down but may leave behind microplastics or harmful residues.

Q: What are 100% compostable bags made from?

A: Our 100% compostable bags are made from plant-based materials that can include cornstarch, potato starch, and PLA from cassava roots. These natural materials ensure complete decomposition.

Q: Are compostable bags safe for home composting?

A: Yes, Bio Green’s compostable bags are certified to be safe for home composting. They break down in nature as expected in standard backyard compost conditions; however, the time it takes to decompose may vary depending on your particular composting method and conditions.
