BioBag

Did you know the EPA estimates that more than 30% of landfill bound waste is organic material? Once this gets to the landfill, the food and paper scraps will create methane gas, a greenhouse gas 30x more harmful than carbon dioxide. By encouraging the composting of organic materials, and offering a selection of commercially compostable trash bags and reusable snack bags to make it even easier for businesses and households, BioBag is determined to keep everything organic out of the landfill. Their compostable bags are different because, unlike plastic baggies made from non-renewable oil, BioBags are made from Mater-Bi, a plant-based bioplastic that's truly unique. Mater-Bi is from an innovative family of bioplastics that uses substances obtained from plants, such as corn starch, and biodegradable and compostable polymers from renewable materials. The use of renewable raw materials, instead of those derived from fossil fuels, helps control greenhouse gases like methane, that can occur in landfills. The plant-based resin that goes into BioBag products is sourced from Italy, as there is no compostable resin supplier in North America that can guarantee a resin made from GMO-Free crops. That resin is then blown into compostable bags and films at the BioBag production facility in California. But BioBag doesn't just make amazing compost friendly products–they're educating the world on the power of composting! BioBag has been a proud and active member of the US Composting Council (USCC) for decades. They support the USCC's mission of advancing composting manufacturing, utilization, and organics recycling to help change the state of food waste in America. They proudly believe that composting is not just a fad–but a way of life we need to celebrate.
