Great question! There are several ways our bio bags can have an end life.  The first way is composting (either home or industrial) as the bags are biodegradable. It will be quicker to break down through the industrial method versus the home method. Our bags contain no polyethylene and completely biodegrade in the right conditions after 10-45 days. The right condition for them to break down is at a temperature 122 degrees fahrenheit and exposed to UV light. In landfill, the bags will break down a lot more slowly than they would when composting, and they will break down without oxygen, producing methane, a greenhouse gas we need to try to avoid. Before composting, make sure the sticker and small plastic strip on the top of the bag are removed. The second method is through soft plastic recycling. This method allows the bags to be processed at the correct facility that then turns them into things such as fitness trails, outdoor furniture, drinking fountains, bike stands, bollard fences, picket fences, road and speed humps, rumble bars and more!
