Did you know that 30% of what we throw out is compostable? Composting is the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and replenishing our soils, reducing warming effects on the climate. BioBag Food Scraps bags are ideally used for the collection of food scraps and other kitchen waste for home, municipal and community composting. Our popular BioBag 3 Gallon Size is designed to fit most kitchen countertop composting pails. BioBags aren't meant to last forever but are durable and strong enough for the conventional collection of food waste and other compostable items. BioBags breathe naturally, allowing moisture to escape and evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing debris, which causes odor. When BioBags are used with a ventilated bin, you'll have the ultimate system for food waste collection. BioBag is the leading supplier of compostable bags across the globe however, BioBag isn’t a large PE plastic bag company that now conveniently dabbles in the new world of compostable bags. We are a small company of dedicated employees, who are fully committed to ONLY producing Certified compostable bags and films. It’s All We Do! This product complies with California Law (SB 1972) and other state and local laws regarding compostable labeled products. BioBags are Biodegradable Products Institute certified to meet the ASTM D6400 specification. Biodegradable Products Institute Certification #891053. The ASTM D6400 is the North American equivalent of the European EN 13432. Both specifications require that compostable products completely decompose in a composting setting in a specific time frame, leaving no harmful residues behind. For best results: Use within one year of purchase; Store in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat.
