We've just been checking other prices for compostable liners.  BioBag liners are up to 55% cheaper on bulk purchases.  Add to that the technical superiority of advanced MaterBi materials (that means excellent strength) and the answers obvious.   More...

The new cling wrap is being really well received. Many of us feel uncomfortable using conventional films and love the idea of a biobased product. Even better is that it works really well!

You're not going to get a lot of technical rhetoric here, just some observations based on a few facts and a little common sense.

We have developed an alternative to polyethylene/polypropylene based plastic bags. Our products are made primarily from substances obtained from plants such as cornstarch, vegetable oils and compostable polymers from both renewable raw materials and fossil raw materials. Our bags and films are certified compostable. Conventional plastic bags take a lifetime, often over 100 years, to begin to degrade. Regular polyethylene/polypropylene based plastic cannot be composted. Less than 2% of plastic bags ever get recycled and those that are seldom ever become plastic bags again. Plastic bags litter our streets and waterways.  More...

It goes without saying that the bag chosen should be compostable to standard.  Bags that meet AS4736 or the European Standard EN13432 on which AS4736 was based will compost in industrial composting conditions. This is not just theoretical as countless millions of compliant bags have been composted in facilities all round the world from N America, through Europe and Australia.  Where there have been reports of difficulties this is a reflection of the method employed. More...
