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.

We have been using these for a couple of years without one broken bag. I like that they are not rolled up. We keep the box by the front door and grab them as we need them.

These are the best compostable bags I have found as they are sturdy and easy to open. The fact that they are not rolled has not been an inconvenience. I simply push a number of them in the same holder where rolled bags are kept, they usually come out one at a time, and unwrinkle easily.

I’ve been using these bags to pick up after one small dog and I’ve realized this is going to take me forever to go through the whole box! I’ve had them for 4 months and haven’t gone through one bundle of bags yet ( this wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t have a “best by” date). Also I agree with other reviews that they are not rolled and that is a minor inconvenience. I just use these for picking up the back yard though, so I just stuck a couple of reusable hooks on the side of the closet and hung them up (they have pre cut holes in them to hang).

Should have read the other reviews first, where I’d have noticed at least one other reviewer mention these are not pre-rolled! It’s an inconvenience to have to find a way to fold/roll these myself. They come in flat stacks bundled together with a perforated edge at the top. There’s also a hole at the top of the bag I have been using to hang one “stack” at a time on the coat hooks near my front door, but could get messy in pickup if you’re not careful. They’re still economical and I imagine better for the planet than the repurposed plastic grocery bags I had to use when I was out of my usual rolls. Depending on what other options are available to me, may or may not repurchase, but it’s not definite “yes would rebuy” so I’m docking a star.

Hello, we put our food compost in a hole in the backyard. Is this is a safe option for these poop bags?

Hi there! These bags are not home compostable, only in industrial facilities. However, we do have a home compostable option, here! If you are planning on using your compost on a garden or other edible item, we suggest composting your pet waste separately and using it for non-edible items like flowerbeds!

I do love the material: it’s surprisingly sturdy. Having had bags prone to seam splits before, this stuff is great. However, I did find they were just a tad small for many of my dog’s messes compared to the standard I buy elsewhere, and unfortunately that little cut-out for closing the bag wasn’t very useful in those circumstances – the poop would smear while I turned the bag inside out, and pulling one side through that cut out could leave some of the messy inside exposed. This is more of a warning to those who prefer to close this way, since, as I choose to knot the top, it was usually fine for me. And I have to admit that the cut out makes the bag easier to open initially, as the sides don’t stick as much.
Overall I don’t think I’ll order this bag again as I’ve found comparably priced compostable pet waste bags that better suite my dog’s size, but this is a personal compatibility factor. Otherwise I found the product to be pretty well made, and I do love a compostable alternative.
Oh, one other thing – I know saying “bulk” may seem like an obvious way of indicating that these bags are not pre-rolled, but I truly wasn’t sure since I’ve seen it applied to large boxes, and didn’t see anything in the comments when I ordered these months back. Maybe consider specifying? Having to roll a batch of these weekly is another reason I likely won’t order again; I’ve found it just a little too time consuming. If I could order this many of your bags pre-rolled and in a slightly larger size, I would ABSOLUTELY consider buying again.

Are these bio-degradable or compostable? That makes a big difference. Even plastic bags are bio degradable in 500 yrs.

Good size. I really like how its easier to open these bags compared to the standard bags that come on a roll. I fold them into thirds and roll them to fit on a dispenser.

Can a certain size/spec biobag be multi-purpose … As we plan to use these on our hands while shopping during the covid-19 pandemic?

EarthHero –
Hi, Eric! We’re so happy to hear you’re looking for ways to protect yourself during this COVID-19 pandemic, and we appreciate your desire for multi-use products! BioBag is made of Mater-Bi, a bioplastic derived from the starches of plants, vegetable oils, and compostable polymers, so it is built for composting, not protection from germs or viruses. Our recommendation continues to follow the CDC’s protection guidelines- thorough hand washing (20-30 seconds), not touching your face, using a sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, and reducing exposure to large groups. If you’re looking for ways to protect your hands while out and about still, you could also try these natural latex cleaning gloves! We hope this helps 🙂

These bags for doggies are excellent, sturdy and not too large. Perfect for picking up your dog’s droppings. Love them! I highly recommend them and other sustainable options.

We have had dogs for many many years and I have spent all that time in search of a poo bag that is compostible but also strong enough and easy to open. By far the best of any we have used before!

We use these when scooping kitty litter, since we have cats, not dogs. They are a little small to put in the scoop able litter with the scoop, but it works OK. And we are pleased to not be putting it in plastic bags for disposal.

Given that the bag is compostable but dog’s poop contains harmful bacteria to waterways and humans. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi there! This is a very important point, thank you for bringing it up! While these bags are compostable, they should only end up in compost bins designated for pet waste and pet waste only. If this isn’t an option, then to the trash they go! These bags offer an excellent plastic-free alternative to traditional doggy bags and help us move away from petroleum-based products and towards more renewable sources!

In the quest for a single-use plastic purge from my life, this product gives me the peace of mind to know that when I toss it in my garbage bin, it will biodegrade.
