Compostable Tall
Kitchen Bags
Compostable kitchen waste
bags are primarily used for the collection of food scraps and other
Compostable waste for home or community composting.
These
Compostable Tall Kitchen waste 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 Compostable packaging items. Our tall kitchen bags
are also great for collecting outdoor waste from small gardening areas. Most
communities have designated days for yard and compostable waste pick-up. Check
to see if there is a program in your area.
These products are “shelf
stable”, just like paper plates or paper towels. They will not decompose until
they are introduced to the earth’s elements or micro-organisms in the soil.
Extended heat can make the bags feel soft and may eventually cause splitting. We
recommend storage in a dry, cool area.

|
Certified by the
Compostable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400
specification. Meets California SB 1749 requirements. |
|
Shelf stable,
just like paper plates or paper towels. There are no chemical
additives to enhance decomposition. The bags biodegrade naturally
when expose to the earth’s elements and micro-organisms in the soil. |
|
They “breathe”,
which allows heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This feature
reduces bacterial build-up of collected waste, thus reducing odor. |
|
Will decompose in
a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no
harmful residues behind. |

NOTE:
As of 2011, The State of California has determined the words “biodegradable”
and “degradable” are misleading to consumers, as there is no
established legal time frame for either term. They want companies to use the
word COMPOSTABLE for defining a product’s ability to decompose
in a timely fashion in a controlled municipal composting environment.
