Full details

The Eco Green Living Compostable Resealable Zip Lock Bags are ideal for eco-conscious homeowners looking to reduce plastic waste without sacrificing the convenience of traditional storage bags. These 0.5-litre bags are perfect for portioning food, organizing cables, or storing small household trinkets; however, users must remember to remove the non-compostable zipper closure before placing the bag into home compost piles to ensure full decomposition.

FAQs

Can I put these bags in my backyard compost?

Yes, but you must remove the non-compostable zipper closure first for the bag film to break down effectively.

Are these bags safe for microwave use?

These bags are not designed for microwave use. High heat may cause the organic material to melt or lose its shape.

What happens if I put these in a standard landfill?

While they will eventually break down, they require the oxygen and microbial activity found in composting environments to biodegrade efficiently.

Are they BPA-free?

Yes, since they are made from non-edible organic plant materials, they do not contain BPA or phthalates.

How long do they last in the box?

When stored in a cool, dry place, the bags will remain stable for an extended period, though it is best to use them within 12 months for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

The zip lock feels harder to seal than plastic bags.

Ensure the track is clear of debris or food particles, then press firmly from one end to the other, ensuring the seal aligns perfectly.

Bag appears to degrade while in storage.

Ensure you are storing the box in a cool, dry area. Exposure to high humidity or extreme heat can trigger the composting process prematurely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified as fully compostable in industrial settings
  • Made from renewable, non-edible organic sources
  • Versatile size for both food and household storage
  • Leaves no microplastic residue after degradation

Cons

  • Zipper must be manually detached for home composting
  • Not suitable for long-term frozen storage
  • Requires specific environment for rapid 8-12 week breakdown

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized setup is required; simply pull a bag from the recycled box as needed. To maximize the life of your food, squeeze excess air out of the bag before pressing the zip lock shut. When you are finished with the bag, check if your local municipality offers industrial composting collection. If you are composting at home, tear off the plastic zipper seal first and place the bag film into your compost bin or pile. Keep bags stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the organic material from prematurely degrading before you have a chance to use them.
