3 Gallon Compostable Food Scrap Bags by BioBag, 100 Count, BPI Certified, Meets ASTM D6400 Standards, Made in USA, Kitchen Trash Bin Liners

fell apart

Love the convenience of being able to tie this up and throw it in my yard bin without having to worry about attracting bugs. The bags have always held together despite being pretty full.

They served me well, never had any rupture but I was also careful not to tempt fate by like putting tons of wet rags in it. But way more importantly, I could actually find third party verification (through BPI) that this bag is actually as biodegradable as it says. Even a cursory search will show you that there's really nothing to stop unscrupulous "brands" from saying their bags are compostable or "green" (lmao). Please PLEASE look up the BPI certification or any other similar outside verification for any products like this that you buy. And it's not like I'm a rabid environmentalist, I'm honestly just buying stuff like this to look good, but I would rather give myself a lobotomy with a soup ladle than spend money on a deceptive product like 90% of the other biodegradable bags on here are.

Bags do leak. Just the right size for my small compost bin.

These work well as long as you are sure to rinse out all food waste and minimize moisture dropped into the trash. They break down QUICKLY, which is bittersweet. Obviously, these bags were created to break down in landfills to minimize the amount of petro-chemical/plastic products filling up our local pits. The ability to breakdown is what I'm going for...and some products tend to take waaaaay too long to do so. I LOVE the fact these breakdown quickly. The onus is on the purchaser to adapt their refuse workflow to the product. Our family composts, does not eat dairy and only minimal meat products. This immensely limits the amount of non-recyclable or compostable waste we drop into the trash. Given this, we take about 7-10 days to fill one of these bags with a family of 5. I would say the bag starts to break down (due to moisture added with the waste) in 4-5 days. I've been diligent to move up our time table to taking out the waste every 4-5 days and have been pretty good. There was one occurrence of the bag breaking down extremely quickly (2 days) but this was due to thanksgiving guests not familiar with our workflow and dropping food into the waste-bin. Uncool, but I can't blame them for not knowing our needs and wants for the environment. I think the only thing I would want for these bags (thus the 4 star review) would be to redesign the top to have tie tabs. Not a drawstring, but just that curved shape to help users with 4 tie down spots.

These bags fit perfectly in my countertop composting bin and are a great value for the price. I usually go through this size pack in ~ 1 year. To maximize their lifecycle and strength over time, I find it works best to minimize exposure to air and light. My trick for doing this is to NOT Open the box and instead just cut a small hole in the top and pull out each bag as needed. This means that exposure to light and air flow is minimized particularly for all bags except the top one in the cue. Using this approach I have been able to avoid noticeable degradation for 2+ years, at which time the bags were all used Not sure how long this could have worked because I ran out of bags before I saw any issues!

These are truly compostable and that is important to me. Do be aware that they are SO compostable that you need to empty your container frequently or these bags begin to break down in your container. We love these and have made the purchase many times. Will continue to use - we will just continue to empty the compost container frequently!

We have been using these for a number of years now. We always order them off amazon. I love to recycle vegetable scraps and these make it so easy to do that.

El producto es muy bueno y cumple con sus propósito. Es importante no mantener por mucho tiempo (más de 3 días) la basura en la bolsa porque sí llega a romperse. Es un producto que se utiliza para los desperdicios orgánicos de pocos días.

Size is good for family of 4 that cooks 2 meals per day. It's made in USA and materials are decomposable, quality is guaranteed and feel like creating less burden to the environment lol

Bags are a bargain compared to the old compostable bags that we were using. The only small con is the bottom of the bags are made awkwardly. Doesn’t affect the function of the bag though.

product arrived faster than expected and is not a rolled product but still a greatprice compared to other stores recommend serious composters give this product a honest try.

They are very strong!! I used to use Glad bags more expensive and always ripped just putting them in the container Waste of money!! These are amazingly strong Great purchase!! Just did my second purchase!!
