Biodegradable and compostable cornstarch bags

Made from certified compostable bioplastics, cornstarch bags safely turn into healthy compost in just 12 weeks. They can also be discarded within some domestic food-waste bins, collected by some councils (check first with your council).The bags ultimately turn into carbon dioxide, water, and non-toxic raw materials. One feature of the compostable starch based bags is that they "breathe" without leaking. This unique benefit allows heat and moisture to evaporate, which keeps food "fresher" longer. Try using biodegradable /compostable bags for storing your fruits and vegetables. Store your vegetables to maintain freshness, and then use the same bag to line your composting pail. We call it "use and use again".

Features of the Biobag:

• Is completely compostable and biodegradable.
• Made from the raw material MaterBi. The material contains starch, biodegradable polyester and other natural plasticizers.
• Is completely composted after 10-45 days depending on method of composting.
• Complies with the EU requirements for food packaging.
• Is certified by “OK Compost” and “Din Certco” according to the European Standard EN13432. The BioBag is also certified by BPI according to ASTM D6400 for North America.
• The green ink used for printing, is certified by OK Compost according to the European Standard EN13432.
• Has a high barrier against penetration of viruses and bacteria’s.
• Is highly “breathable”, which means that the weight of the organic waste is reduced by up to 25 % in 5 days.

These flat-pack cornstarch rubbish bags are made from a starch based polymer (Mater-Bi- ©). The film has a biodegradation time of 20-45 days in composting conditions breaking down into water, carbon dioxide and biomass. Bags comply with ASTM D6400-99; Din 45900 and OK Compost standards for biodegradability and compost ability.

• Bags are 100% biodegradable and compostable
• Bags are commercial strength; tough and flexible

(Further information: Mater-Bi® is made of maize, potatoes or wheat starch in its natural state, suitably treated and mixed with a minimal amount of synthetic polymers made basically from oil, but using procedures which make the molecules biodegradable. Mater-Bi is therefore a completely biodegradable material, suitable for use with organic waste to produce compost, and is certified by the "OK compost" mark, guaranteeing conformity to the European standards for biodegradable packaging issued in 2001 (directive EN 13432).
