BioBag
Did you know that when organic waste is left in plastic inside the landfill, it’s unable to decompose properly and generates methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide? Even worse, hundreds of years later, when the plastic-bag around your organic waste does break down, it leaves behind tons of nasty microplastics, further polluting our waterways and ecosystems. Make the switch from trashy plastic bags to a compostable alternative with BioBag!
Made from GMO-Free crops, each BioBag product helps you reduce your use of single use, disposable plastics. From pet waste bags, to food storage solutions, to countertop compost bags, BioBag has a (compostable) solution.

was a little hesitant to get them because if the price but they are big compared to regular plastic sandwich bags and they are so sturdy I will definitely clean and re-use them. Love finding new things on earthhero to save out planet
This is definitely a winner.

Great product. I use them for those times I really need a sealable zip bag and can’t use one of my reusable silicone ones. I love that these are municipally compostable, but not so compostable that they fall apart holding my bell pepper slices or carrots for a couple weeks. (the same brand makes a home-compostable version for home composting bins and trash bags, which I also adore.) I am ecstatic that I no longer buy ziplocks, or worry about hand washing those ziplocks until they fall apart to get the most out the plastic. The zip seal is just as solid as any brand on the market, with no leaks, and they seem less prone to splitting at the seams. I’ve had one in the freezer for a few months now and it’s held up well, although I haven’t really tested the viability of the food. However, since I mostly use solid containers for freezer storage this isn’t a major priority for me. I wish everyone who can’t afford silicone zip bags would at least replace their ziplocks with these, or that ziplock would make all their bags out of whatever is used to make them. And if you can buy the trash can liners from BioBags or World Centric, you can cut a source of single use plastic out of your life (but don’t put anything wet or biodegradable in those versions unless you’re taking it out of the house soon, they really are back yard compostable.) I hope BioBag becomes a household name.

We used these for our sandwich bags while skiing. While everyone was a little skeptical, they actually held up well in our pockets all day! We were able to compost them at the Steamboat resort. We did not try reusing them, so I am not sure how they would last with multiple uses. They were a nice alternative to ziplocks for a big group on a weekend ski trip!

Can these be used as freezer storage?

EarthHero –
Hi, Cass! Great question- while not intended to be freezer bags, these resealable bags will work for short term storage (~2 weeks). Compostable bags are not as air-tight or as thick as polybags. If you’re looking for long-term storage or to completely avoid freezer burn, check out these options by Stasher!

What if you don’t have access to a municipal composting facility?

EarthHero –
Hi, Sarah! Great question- these bags will not work the way they were intended if you do not have municipal composting near you because the specific environment needed to compost the bag itself is not present in a landfill. These bags will release methane just like other decomposing items! Even though these will not compost if used in a landfill, we still like to think of them as a better option than plastic because they are not relying on any petroleum products to be made 🙂

Love being able to use a plastic alternative. These work well and have held up well through food storage time until disposal.

These bags are a perfect alternative to the plastic sandwich bags I used to use and at a competitive price. They are just as durable, and I am never going back to the plastic ones!

I really like these bags. They are yet another great option than traditional, harmful plastic. They hold up well and can hold various foods without ripping but don’t put too much weight in it. You get a good amount of bags for the price. Recommend these highly!

Each bag can be washed several times and be used. It’s much more durable than I expected. I’ve replace ziplock with this product.

I freakin’ LOVE these bags! I work hard to bring my own bags to the grocer, use the cloth bags for produce, and drink from refillable bottles. These bags eliminate any guilty feelings about what to do with snacks on the go, left-overs, and separating bulk produce.
