BioBag waste bags are primarily used for the collection of food scraps and other biodegradable waste for home or community composting. BioBags can also help reduce odor and bacterial build-up during food scrap collection.
Made from cornstarch, these bags help to eliminate regular plastic bags from our environment. When disposed, BioBags will biodegrade as naturally as food scraps, leaving no harmful residue. No Polyethylene is used in the production of this product. BioBags bags are GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) free, certified for use in organic agriculture.
Following are the dimensions in inches and case quantities for each size of waste bag:
- 13 Gallon Tall Kitchen: Width 23.6", Length 28", 12 Bags per Roll and 12 Rolls per Case, Case weight is 6.1 lbs
Mil Rate Thicknesses is 0.48 for the 10 Gallon bag, 0.72 for the 13 Gallon Tall Kitchen bag 1.0 for the 33 & 39 Gallon bags, and 1.2 for the Star Seal bags.
The Star Seal bag has a special gathering and is sealed at the bottom which makes it stronger and able to hold more weight.
Some facts and data regarding BioBag products:
1). BioBag products are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification. Always look for the logo to assure the products you buy are truly biodegradable and compostable.
2). BioBag products meet the new California law, SB 1749, for biodegradable and compostable product claims.
3). BioBags are certified GMO Free. Furthermore, Biobags only sources corn from countries that do not allow GMO testing.
4). No polyethylene is used in the production of BioBags.
5). BioBags are DEN certified for restricted use of metals in our soy-based inks and dyes.
6). BioBags are shelf stable, just like paper plates or paper towels. There are no chemical additives to enhance decomposition. The bags biodegrade naturally when expose to the earth’s elements and micro-organisms in the soil.
7). BioBags “breathe”, which allows heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This feature reduces bacterial build-up of collected waste, thus reducing odor.
8). BioBags will decompose in a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no harmful residues behind.
9). BioBags will decompose in a natural setting at an extended rate comparable to other naturally biodegradable materials, such as paper, leaves and food waste.
10). BioBags will biodegrade in both fresh and salt water. Australian studies suggest decomposition occurs between 8-14 months. Biobags does not support placing any material in our oceans, lakes or waterways.
