Product Description

BioBag Bathroom Trash Bags Biodegradable and Compostable< h2> BioBags waste bags take the mess out of trash collection keeping your trash can clean. Made from a compostable, biodegradable material that is based on starch from non GMO corn, vegetable oil and other renewable resources, these bags help to eliminate regular plastic bags from our environment. Many polyethylene based plastic bags can take over 100 years to degrade. When disposed, BioBags will biodegrade as naturally as food scraps, leaving no harmful residue. BioBags meet the ASTM 6400 requirements as well as California Law SB 1749. < h2>The ASTM 6400 requirements are the gold standard for compostable 'plastic'. BioBags meet this requirement. Some manufacturers are blending additives to polyethylene to produce 'degradable' bags. Unfortunately, this process fragments the bags into pieces of plastic debris that do not meet the ASTM D6400 standard for biodegradable and compostable plastic. The 3 gallon size fits most bathroom trash cans and larger kitchen compost crocks. Measures 17"x18" . 62 mil 25 bags Made in the USA

Customer Reviews

Works for us
We have been using BioBags for about two years now and have been very satisfied with their performance. We use them to line a small covered waste pail, which we call a "cootie bin." We close the bag and empty the pail about once a week, throwing the bag into our compost pile. The bags break down very nicely and fairly quickly. The one thing we have to look out for is that the bags can start to break down in the pail if too much moisture makes it in with the waste and the temperature in the house is warm. I can tell you that's not a mess you clean up more than once. As long as we don't leave the bag in the pail too long, things are fine.

Very, very thin
During the brief time I used these bags, at least half of the time the bag either tore or leaked. I'm all for "going green", but unless you're very delicate with your garbage, only placing perfectly dry and very soft/flexible/amorphous items in your kitchen garbage can, these just don't hold up to what I would consider typical and reasonable use.

Biobags are a great solution for landfill problems
I have been using Biobags fo years. I use the small 3 gall. size for my diaper pail. I use biodegradable Diapers and I didn't want a non-degradable bag wrapped around them. I also use the tall kitchen garbage bags. These bags are great, but you have to use common sense. You can't stuff these full until they are about to burst, and if there are a lot of moist things in your trash (i.e. wet diapers) the bags start breaking down after a couple of days. Although, I wish the bags had a way to self-tie, this is a really great product.
