Review on Compostable Food Waste Bags - Full Circle Scrap Sack, 1.5-Gallon, Set of 10 by Monica Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Awesome biodegradable bags but very expensive

These FULL CIRCLE SCRAP SACKS (1.5 gallon, 10 pack) are great compostable bags but too expensive for everyday use (about $15 for 10 pouch or $1.50 for a pouch at Revain). The bags are made of kraft paper (a brown "grocery bag") and have a sealed inner liner that feels like plastic but is actually made of a plant-based material. Packages remain sealed for 2-3 days. They're stiff enough to stand open on a countertop, and you can close them by rolling up the top (like you do any brown bag). If you plan on using a bag for 2-3 days, it's best to use it as a bin liner rather than just standing on the countertop. Compost bags always run out sooner or later and it's unpredictable. What suits me is a small countertop compost bin (see OXO Good Grips Compost Bin lined with compostable bags the size of food waste (see [[ASIN: B07GQVB225 LiveComfort Compost Bag). I empty the compost bin daily. piece The corrugated cardboard at the bottom of a large outdoor trash can will help absorb most of the leaks from the compost bags as they start to break down.
