Introducing Compostable Resealable Bags
in Snack & Gallon Sizes!

In 2013, BioBag introduced compostable food storage and sandwich resealable bags. Now, we are proud to announce that we are expanding our resealable product line to include snack-size and gallon-size resealable bags! Like all of our other products, these bags are made from the material Mater-Bi^®.

BioBag Resealable Snack Bags are ideal for taking snacks on the go. These bags are convenient for lunches or sorting portions at home. BioBag Resealable Gallon Bags are the largest in our resealable product line and are perfect for traveling, storing leftovers, and a variety of other in-home and on-the-go uses. Both bags are zip tight and great for storing all types of food.

When finished, users can discard the snack and gallon bags with other compost waste. BioBag Snack and Gallon Bags compost right along with other organic waste in a municipal compost facility to create nutrient-rich soil – even the zippers are compostable!

Along with underlining the successes and struggles of communities who are trying to gain support for composting, the article speaks to industry experts about the challenges, benefits and future of composting.

Most notability, BioBag’s very own VP of Sales, Mark Williams, was quoted.

“Despite the economy, we’re seeing continued growth in our business,” notes Mark Williams, vice president of sales for BioBag. “Each year, more municipalities are going after the organic sector of their waste, recognizing organics as a resource instead of garbage. Just like we recycle cans, bottles, and paper, we’re recycling food and lawn waste, and there are infrastructures developing that are recognizing it as a resource instead of garbage.”

“It’s a huge chunk of the wastestream that hasn’t really been addressed by a lot of cities. After they develop their recycling programs, it’s the biggest chunk left for them to go after,” he says.

The article is really a fascinating and informative outlook of the industry. I learned a great deal the first time I read through it and will need to reread it to further digest everything. So, read it with me here and let me know what you think by commenting on it through our BioBabble Blog, posting on the BioBag Facebook page or tweeting us at @BioBag.

The Green Guides were first introduced in 1992 and have been modified a couple of times since, with the latest revision including new-age topics of environmental certifications and seals, carbon offsets, and renewable energy and materials claims.

Green product resellers and manufacturers, as well as all consumers, should familiarize themselves with these latest guidelines. Below is a great summary video by the FTC that walks you through the revisions and additions.

Compostable:

• Marketers who claim a product is compostable need competent and reliable scientific evidence that all materials in the product or package will break down into — or become part of — usable compost safely and in about the same time as the materials with which it is composted.
• Marketers should qualify compostable claims if the product can’t be composted at home safely or in a timely way. Marketers also should qualify a claim that a product can be composted in a municipal or institutional facility if the facilities aren’t available to a substantial majority of consumers.

If you have any questions about BioBag products and our environmental claims, especially regarding compostability, please feel free to contact us at any time at info@biobagusa.com or 727-789-1646.
