Bio bags can halt the proliferation of polyethylene based plastic trash bags in our landfills. Plastic trash bags are made from materials that resist decomposition and contaminate the soil. Bio bags, on the other hand, are made from renewable raw components like non genetically modified starch and agricultural materials that make them completely compostable. Bio bags become part of the natural cycle instead of a disruption when they are assimilated by the microorganisms that are present in the environment. Bio bags break down into organic waste and disappear as they are eaten by naturally occuring microorganisms and returned to the environment as 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.
Cornstarch is the main component of bio bags. Not only do they leave a light footprint on the environment, they also support American farmers by purchasing their corn crops. No plastics of any kind go into the manufacture of bio bags. They breathe by allowing heat and moisture to escape, which reduces bacterial buildup and odor, and decompose without harmful residues in a controlled composting environment within 10 to 45 days. Decomposition in a natural, land setting is comparable to that of paper, leaves and food waste; in fresh or salt water, decomposition generally occurs within eight to 14 months. (However, it would be environmentally irresponsible to dump waste in any form of container, even bio bags, in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams.) Bio bags are also shelf stable, meaning they will not begin to decompose until they are exposed to the earth and its microorganisms.
Bio bags are available in many different sizes that are suitable 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 are also available for use in standard kitchen trash containers and for 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. Bio bag dog waste bags that are also compostable can be disposed of in a compost pile, bag, waste and all, where they will be consumed by microorganisms and returned to the environment.
