They feel like plastic, but everything they write about them says they'll compost away if in a composting site.
I do wonder what they're made of. Here are some photos. And with my super chemical nose, I'm feeling a tickle or two for whatever chemistry they are made from.
I'm not pleased that the bottom is gathered and won't bloom apart...thus losing some of the inner space for trash and such.
I honestly hadn't considered composting with these garbage bags. As one person I don't make that much veggie leavings...though there are the times I over buy and have a whole bag of spinach that's gone bad. I know if I were making that large amount of compostable scraps, it would definitely be a wet mass, and I agee that I think it's not reliable for a week long pile of mush. I'm going to start with just my dry trash...papers, things that can't be recycled...and will add the compost items the day I take the trash out to be picked up by the big garbage truck. My goal is to have all the trash inside continue to deteriorate (if it does) and in 6 months the bag will have dwindled down, thus saving one piece of plastic in the dump.
Isn't that a hoot?
But I will certainly pass the box around and offer friends to try a bag. The cost with shipping for 30 bags was just $22.87.
