Bio Bag FAQS
What is BioBag and what makes it different from regular plastic bags?
BioBag is a leading brand of 100% certified compostable bags and films made from plant-based materials (starches, vegetable oils, and compostable polymers), not conventional polyethylene. Because it uses renewable resources and avoids petro‑based plastics, BioBag offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic waste bags.
Are BioBag products truly certified compostable?
Yes, BioBags are certified compostable by BPI, CMA, and TÜV AUSTRIA. Their products meet the U.S. standard ASTM D6400 and the European standard EN 13432 for compostability. Some BioBag items are also certified for home composting under standards like OK compost HOME, while others are designed for commercial composting.
What types of BioBag products are available and what are they used for?
BioBag offers a wide range including: compostable trash liners (for kitchen, food or yard waste), produce bags, compost bin liners, food‑waste bags, and other compostable films and bags. They’re used for collecting food scraps, yard waste, produce storage, and general compostable waste, helping to divert organic waste from landfills.
How long does it take for BioBag products to decompose?
Under proper composting conditions (industrial or home compost, depending on bag type), BioBag products typically decompose in about 10–45 days. They are designed to break down into water, carbon dioxide, and organic biomass, leaving no harmful residue behind.
Are BioBag bags safe for food waste and compost bins in my home?
Yes, BioBag liners are made without polyethylene and contain no harmful chemical additives. Because they “breathe” (allow moisture to escape), they help reduce odor and bacterial build-up, closing a common compost‑smell problem. Many are certified for home composting, but always check your local composting or curbside compost program’s rules before use.
How should I store and use BioBag products for best results?
To maintain effectiveness: store BioBags in a cool, dry place and use them within 12 months of purchase. If used as liners for food waste or compost bins, change the bag every 3–5 days if organic matter is wet or decomposing, this helps prevent premature breakdown or leaks.
