Note - There is a "not suitable for home composting" disclaimer on the packaging. This is because the Biodegradable Products Institute has a standard that any bioplastic should break down in an industrial facility within one year. These bags meet that standard and are therefore certified compostable bags. However, a home compost won't reach the temperature required for the plastic to break down within a year, and this is what that disclaimer means. These bags do eventually break down, but take much longer to decompose than food. These bags also aren't suitable to be composted for an organic garden, or to be introduced into a worm farm.

Good for short term use
These are great little bags but don't put anything wet in them otherwise the liquid does start to seep through after a short while.
Work well, good bags
Used these with your great compost bin & we've been putting the bag/s when full up into a hole dug in the soil in veggie beds which were empty during winter. They bags rot down to nothing & when Spring came we just added some other composted soil on the top & planted our veggie seeds. The only "problem" is that sometimes the potato peelings grow up & out, but we don't mind a free extra free potatoes. The worms are very happy now growing fatter, & now we have plantings in we are putting our bags into a big garden compost bin instead so will use & recycle later.
Great option when you can't go plastic-free!
I'd been bag-free for years but this is a great option for when you're living with people that aren't as "low waste" as you.
