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 Tall 13-Gallon waste bags are Sized equivalent to regular plastic bags and fit most kitchen waste cans. BioBags aren't meant to last forever but are durable and strong enough for the conventional collection of food waste and other compostable items. This sturdy bag is perfect for collecting food waste, paper and other packaging items. BioBags breathe naturally, allowing moisture to escape and evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing debris and bacteria, which causes odor. 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!
