Great solution for non-plastic bags to be kind to the environment
Ecolife’s BioBag Canada® products are an environmentally friendly alternative to paper and polyethylene bags. A truly complete solution for the environment, the BioBags® can be reused, recycled, composted or incinerated. The material used to make BioBags® is mainly derived from the raw material maize starch. The BioBag® is recyclable, just like normal plastic, but also composts in 10 to 45 days, depending on the composting method.
The BioBag® is 100% certified Compostable and Biodegradable and meets or exceeds the “ASTM D6400-99 Standard” according to the “Specifications for Compostable Plastics”.
BioBags will not break down from moisture or rain. BioBags are primarily made from renewable resources so using BioBags helps contribute to environmentally sustainable development. BioBags are also produced using less than 25% of the energy used to produce an equivalent number of paper bags, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the goals of the Kyoto Protocol.
