BioBags® are 100% biodegradable and certified compostable bags that will not decompose until they are introduced to the earth's elements or micro-organisms in the soil. These 13-gallon tall kitchen bags are sized equivalent to regular plastic bags and fit most kitchen waste cans. This sturdy bag is perfect for collecting food waste, paper and other biodegradable packaging items. They are also great for collecting outdoor waste from small gardening areas. The star sealed bags are gathered at the bottom for extra strength, and feature the ability to "breathe" without leaking. This unique benefit allows heat and moisture to evaporate, which keeps food fresher longer. For best results, use BioBags® within 12 months of purchase. Meets ASTM D6400. Includes 12 bags.
