Review on Compostable Trash Bags Bulk - Reli. Green 4 Gallon 360Ct, ASTM D6400 Certified, Eco-Friendly Garbage Bags For Small Waste by Corey Nyuon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not home compostable, bags fairly delicate

I didn't read carefully so didn't realize these are not home compostable so can't use them as planned. It is a misleading that the packaging has COMPOSTABLE in big letters but then the fine print says that they are only for composting in municipal/industrial composting facilities and the packaging specifically says not for home composting. Yes, this is in the produce description but the visual of the front of the box meant I stupidly didn't read carefully. These bags are also pretty delicate and did not fit my 7 gal trash can though they claim to be 6-8 gal. When I tried to gently stretch the bag to fit the can it quickly split. Second bag I put in a 5 gal bucket. Fit the 5 gal bucket fine but when I pulled the bag to tie the top I found it split on the side even though only dry paper recyclables in the bag. My fault for not reading carefully that they are not home compostable but buyer beware on that and that the bags are delicate.

Pros
  • Compostable ASTM-D6400 certified (Made with 30% Plant-Based Materials)
Cons
  • Storage of excess bags could be more challenging
