Discover bio bags
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. 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 come in several different sizes that are ideal for household use.
