Newly compostable garbage bags

 Newly compostable garbage bags features

Newly compostable garbage bags are designed with features that make them environmentally friendly. It is suitable for composting or breaking down naturally. Here are some key features

1. Biodegradable Material: These bags are typically made from biodegradable materials such as cornstarch, potato starch, or other plant-based polymers. These materials can break down into natural components when exposed to the right environmental conditions.
2. Compostability: newly compostable garbage bags should be certified as compostable according to recognized standards.  Such as ASTM D6400 or EN 13432. This means they can be safely composted in industrial composting facilities.
3. Non-toxic and Chemical-Free: These bags should not contain harmful chemicals or additives that could leach into the compost or soil during decomposition.
4. Durability: While they are designed to break down, they should still be durable enough to hold waste without tearing or leaking before disposal.
5. Leak-Resistant: To prevent leaks or messes, these bags may have a leak-resistant design or coating.
6. Sizing Options: Offered in various sizes to accommodate different waste disposal needs, from kitchen scraps to larger yard waste.
7. Certification: Look for bags that carry certifications from reputable organizations, like the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) or the European Bioplastics certification.  Thus ensure they meet industry standards for compostability.
8. Clear Labeling: Clear labeling indicating the bag’s compostability and proper disposal instructions helps consumers understand how to use them correctly.
9. Strength and Load Capacity: Depending on the intended use (e.g., kitchen waste, yard waste), consider bags with appropriate strength and load capacity to avoid breakage.
