What is BioBag technology?

Plastic-Free

BioBags FAQ:

Our BioBag will degrade naturally back to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. Our BioBag does not need an industrial facility to be composted and is also safe if ingested by snails, insects and other land and aquatic animals.

 

The printing ink used on our BioBag is alcohol based and non-toxic.

While our BioBag has passed the acute oral toxicity test, it is not certified as food and cannot be considered as edible.

Our BioBag dissolves instantly in boiling hot water, softens in cold water and leaves only a small amount of ash when burnt; contrary to conventional plastic which leaves molten residue behind.

  • To retain their quality, BioBags should be stored in a dry space at a mild temperature.
  • Humidity and higher temperature, direct contact with water and sunlight can affect the physical properties of the material and speed up the biodegradation process.

  • We guarantee a shelf life of two years, provided you store it sealed inside the original packaging.
  • At longer or inappropriate storage, the quality starts degrading. Once the original packaging is opened, the shelf life will be shortened.

  • The material used to create our plastic free BioBag is incredibly versatile and can be used a variety of ways, suitable for both personal and business use including but not limited to:

    - Grip hole bags

    - T-shirt bags

    - Bin bags

    - Laundry bags

    - Aprons

We need your desired measurements, artwork requirements and your preferred order quantity for us to generate the best offer for your order. Get in touch with us using our contact form and we can discuss your order.

BioBags are available in eleven different base colours, with the option to print in any colour, tailored to your requirements.

We recommend you reuse the BioBag as many times as possible until its end of life. After that you can discard it into any designated trash bin or throw it in your home compost - after all, its plastic free and biodegradable.
