Bio bags are the answer to the scourge of polyethylene based plastic trash bags that are filling up our landfills. Plastic trash bags are made from materials that resist decomposition and contaminate the soil. Constructed of renewable raw components like non genetically modified starch and agricultural materials, bio bags are completely compostable and break down readily in soil and in both fresh and salt water. When assimilated by the microorganisms that are present in the environment, bio bags become part of the natural cycle instead of a disruption. They break down into organic waste, are eaten by microorganisms and returned to the environment in the form of carbon dioxide. And, as we learned in biology class, plants utilize carbon dioxide as part of the photosynthesis process. Bio bags become part of the cycle of life.
Bio bags are manufactured mainly from cornstarch. Not only do they leave a light footprint on the environment, they also support American farmers by purchasing their corn crops. Bio bags use no plastics of any kind. These bags breathe by letting heat and moisture escape, thus reducing bacterial buildup and odor, and decompose harmlessly within 10 to 45 days in a controlled composting environment. If disposed of in a natural setting, bio bags decompose at the same rate as paper, leaves or food waste and within eight to 14 months if disposed of in fresh or salt water. (However, disposal of bio bags in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams is still environmentally irresponsible.) Bio bags do not begin decomposing until they are exposed to the earth and its microorganisms.
Bio bags come in several different sizes that are ideal for household use. Small sized bio bags are perfect for use in kitchen composting bins; as a matter of fact, the entire contents, bag and all, can be disposed of in a home compost pile. No need to separate the compostable bag from its contents. Bio bags also come in sizes that accommodate standard kitchen trash containers and lawn and leaf waste. (Does it really makes any sense to kill trees to make paper bags to collect leaves?) And, for people with pets, there are bio bags specifically designed to collect pet waste. Cat owners can dispose of the litter that remains behind after waste removal with the help of bio bag cat litter pan liners. Compostable bio bag dog waste bags can be disposed of in a home compost pile, bag, waste and all, for consumption by microorganisms that will return the bag and waste to the environment.
