Review on πŸ—‘οΈ Norpro 870 - 100% Compostable Bags, Grey (50 Count) by Emily Quintana

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible; tear easily, do not compost in the garden or in the bins.

This is just awful. First, and this is misleading, they are advertised as "100% compostable" but when you receive the box you may (or may not) notice the fine print telling you they are non-compostable. In fact, they will NOT break down in the backyard compost or worm bin. Second, they're incredibly fragile even straight out of the box, and more than half of them were ripped lengthways just when trying to open them to put them in the bin. I have a precise, keen sense after decades of extremely fine craftsmanship by an artist and scientist, so this is definitely not my rough treatment; They're just brittle and tear so easily that they don't even do the job of keeping the compost bin clean. Avoid them like the plague, and if you compost in your garden, consider using paper bags to line your kitchen bin. They are compostable and will do the job just as well or even better when it comes to minimizing cleanup.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not sure
