Our 100% compostable bags are made from biodegradable polyester, which includes PLA and PBAT. PLA is derived from corn while PBAT is made from Petroleum.

SuperBio compostable bags contain no corn starch. If garbage bags contain corn starch, they are relatively weak and have a shelf life of about only six months.Bags made without corn starch, however, are stronger and more durable and have a longer shelf life of between 1-2 years.

Compostable: Compostable materials biodegrade in a composting process through the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms and do so to a high extent within a specified timeframe.The associated biological processes during composting will yield C02, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass, leaving no visible contaminants or toxic residue/substances.

Biodegradable: Biodegradable materials degrade slowly over time. They decompose more readily under specific conditions, namely those relating to certain temperature and humidity measurements.It is a relatively slow process to achieve complete natural degradation. If one requires the material to degrade quickly, then one has to rely on specialized industrial facilities.
