FAQs

Are these bags truly compostable at home?

These bags are certified for industrial composting. They require the higher temperatures and specific conditions found in commercial composting facilities to break down effectively and may not fully compost in a home compost bin.

Can I use these bags for sous vide cooking?

These bags are not recommended for sous vide cooking, as they are not designed to withstand the prolonged, precise high-heat conditions required for that method.

What does 'biodegradable and microplastic-free' mean?

Biodegradable means the material will break down naturally over time. Microplastic-free ensures that the breakdown process does not create tiny plastic particles that can pollute the environment.

How do I write on the label area?

You can use a standard permanent marker or a ballpoint pen to write on the designated label area for contents and dates.

Are these bags safe for freezing oily foods?

Yes, the bags are food safe and designed for freezer use, making them suitable for freezing oily foods. Ensure the bag is properly sealed to prevent any leakage.

What is the lifespan of food stored in these bags?

The lifespan of food stored in these bags is comparable to that in conventional freezer bags, provided the food is stored correctly and the bag is sealed properly to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.

Can I reuse these compostable bags?

These bags are intended for single use to maintain hygiene and integrity. They are designed for disposal after use, preferably through industrial composting.

Troubleshooting

Bag tears easily

Ensure you are not overfilling the bag beyond its capacity or forcing sharp-cornered items inside without protection. Distribute contents evenly.

Leakage from the bag

Double-check that the bag is sealed properly. For liquids, ensure the bag is not punctured and is stored upright.

Food spoilage despite storage

Confirm the bag was sealed completely and the contents were properly cooled before storing. Ensure the bag is suitable for the type of food and duration of storage.
