Product Description
DID YOU KNOW THAT NORMAL PLASTIC BAGS NEVER BIODEGRADE? Well, not for a thousand years or so, which in our book pretty much qualifies for "never". But have no fear: Green Genius trash bags have been proven to biodegrade under active landfill conditions, typically within 1 to 10 years (ASTM D5511). On top of that, our bags have everything the other guys have: They're just as puncture resistant as the national brands (3-ply strength, woohoo!) with ridiculously strong drawstrings. They're priced the same, too. PLUS, they're made from 40% recycled plastic. About the only thing the other bags have that we don't is the ability to sit around intact for the next thousand years or so.
SAME STRENGTH. SAME PRICE. BIODEGRADABLE.TM

I was looking for a compostable tall kitchen garbage bag and ordered these. They do appear to be very strong and are biodegradable. When I was changing our kitchen compost bag, I realized that these do not meet the ASTM 6400 standard and cannot be used in our municipal compost program. They are not quite what I was looking for, but are a step closer than normal tall kitchen garbage bags to being earth friendly.

An environmentally friendly garbage bag that everyone should use. They are the standard 13 gallon size and tough as nails-they survive the journey down the trash chute from my 4th floor condo. Don't let the price deter you from using them. Consider the money spent as a donation toward the health of the planet. An extremely worthy purchase.

The claim that these bags will biodegrade in an "active" landfill is doublespeak. See the article "Breaking Down Is Hard To Do: How biodegradable are biodegradable plastics?" By Nina Shen Rastogi Posted in Slate for Tuesday, May 12, 2009, at 11:31 AM ET.

Great bags!
I started using these when I saw my local grocery store having a sale for them. I don't use anything else now! I've even purchased the green genius yard bags as well. Read more

Very happy with these
We've tried several different biodegradable bags for our compost bin and these have been the best, and they've been great. No leaks. We fill our compost bin about once/week. Read more

Handle with some care
I'm trying to be greener so I purchased these to try them out. I was previously using Hefty garbage bags.

Best bio bag out there!
I have used these bags for a long time now and so far no leaks like the other review. They are very sturdy and holds in all of the garbage very well. Read more

Terrific product
If you are looking for something a little more sturdy and more resistant to 'wet trash' than the composting bags, these are the way to go. Read more

So far, so good
We're just finishing our first (trial) box & I'll order more. They hold up just as well as the Costco bags we were using & hopefully are more environmentally friendly. Read more

Constantly leaking terribly weak trash bags
These garbage bags are terrible. I have had more leaks with this box of garbage bags than I have had over the entire last 4 years that I have lived at my current apartment. Read more

Guilt-Free Biodegradable Trash Bags
I'm so glad to have a biodegradable trash bag made from recycled plastic. I was using kitchen bags made from recycled plastic, but always felt bad putting them in a landfill... Read more

green bags are sturdy
These bags work fine. They are a brownish-green color with green drawstring ties. It's great that they're more ecological than most kitchen bags.

Awesome and Biodegradable
I bought these not knowing if they'd fall apart or what. I've been so impressed with them. I've put heavy trash in them, stuffed them full and they've performed as indicated. Read more
