Compost Your Waste with Bio Bags
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. 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. They break down into organic waste, are eaten by microorganisms and returned to the environment in the form of carbon dioxide. And, as we know, plants use carbon dioxide in the photosynthesis process. Bio bags fit very nicely into 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. Bio bags use no plastics of any kind. 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, disposal of bio bags in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams is still environmentally irresponsible.) 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 bags are ideal for kitchen composting bins; in fact, the entire contents of the bin, bag and all, can be lifted out and put into a home compost pile. The compostable bag and its contents stay together. Bio bags also come in sizes that accommodate standard kitchen trash containers and lawn and leaf waste. (Think about it: does it really make sense to kill trees for paper bags to collect their leaves?) And, for people with pets, there are bio bags specifically designed to collect pet waste. Bio bag cat litter pan liners are ideal for disposing of the litter that remains behind after waste is removed from the litter box. 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.
