BioBags

I know I have talked about biodegradable trash bags a little bit, but I didn’t let you in on what I use. I use BioBags. They are 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable. They are made from the material, Mater-Bi. They are based on starch, vegetable oil and other renewable resources. They are great for throwing away food waste for composting, or for biodegradable diapers. Plus they are polyethylene free. BioBags are certified for use in organic agriculture.
BioBags biodegrade quickly leaving no harmful residues behind.

I have tried a biodegradable bag that was made out of corn products, but they were so weak compared to these. They would leak if there was any moisture in them. And if the bag got too heavy they would bust so easy. There are very strong and don’t leak. Even with soggy dirty diapers they hold the smell well, and they don’t leak.

If you do a Google search of BioBags, you can find a lot of websites that sell them. I can’t remember which one I bought them from last. I always search around to find the best deal. A lot of websites offer free samples; all you have to do is pay a small shipping charge.

Even if you don’t have a compost pile, you are still making a difference by not putting your garbage in a plastic garbage bag. Your food waste will have the opportunity to decompose faster, and you won’t be polluting the earth with a huge plastic garbage bag that takes at least 100 years to decompose. Plus think about all of the harmful chemicals that come from plastics that will leak into the ground from that one stinkin’ garbage bag! Studies show that 100,000 marine animals and 2 million birds die every year from ingesting or being caught up in plastic debris.


Be careful if you are looking at biodegradable bags and make sure that they meet the ASTM D6400 standard for biodegradable and compostable plastics, which is considered the gold standard for compostable plastic. Just look on the box, or read carefully if shopping online.
Be kind to the environment!
