UNNICompostable Drawstring Bags, 1.2 Gallon, 4.5 Liter, 80 Count, Heavy Duty 1 Mil, Small Kitchen Food Scrap Waste Bags with Drawstring Handle, ASTM D6400, US BPI, CMA & Europe OK Compost Certified

These are sturdy and don’t disintegrate before I’ve filled them like other compostable bags I’ve tried. Perfect for my needs.

They feel just like regular plastic bags. They are so much stronger than any other compostable bags i have tried in the past that are usually flimsy.

Unfortunately, they don’t work that great… if at all! First of all they constantly leak and & make a mess in the compost bin, & I think they’re not really compostable to begin with. Not seeing the items breaking down in my compost pile. definitely a do not buy!

These compostable trash bags have been great so far! They do not have a smell, the material is fairly thick making them pretty durable. Durability is a 4 because if the bag is heavy the drawstrings come out of the bag. Otherwise they work great.

The bag was sturdier than expected. Compared to the other bags I’ve tried without strings. Normally with the other bags they start to deteriorate after a day and a half or two days depending how wet items are. This one held for more than 4+ days and doesn’t rip when I pull it out of the trash can. The straps make it easier to tie and worth the extra dollars. I would definitely buy again and recommend. I’ve only tried the 5.2 gallon which is perfect for my small family. Any bigger than that, the waste will spoil and the odor will be too much for the house. But I like this bag although it is on the pricier side compared to regular garbage bags.

For my purposes, which is, I don’t change my little compost bin more than once a week, I really needed something thicker than the ones that I had already gotten that I had to double bag, and they still ended up leaking liquid as the fruits and vegetables compost it to the bottom of the bin. These last, and yet when you put them in a bigger, composting situation, they do compost themselves. 80 bags I think it’s a good deal for this.

Perfect but be careful if you have too many wet items.

Firstly, don't buy 1.2 gallon bags for a 1.3 gallon bin and figure you can make it work. The 0.1 gal difference equals a struggle to fit the bag over the rim of my bin without tearing it. That's on me, my mistake. But secondly, these bags are too thin and leak after a couple of days. I don't generate enough organic waste to fill a bag several times per week. My workaround is to first line the bin with a non-biodegradeable bag to protect it from the biodegradable bag's gross, stinky leaks. So, I'm wasting several biodegradeable bags plus at least one non-biodegradeable bag every week in order to provide myself the convenience of having a countertop organic waste bin to increase the likelihood that I will remember to save instead of trash my organic waste. Just doing my part for Mother Earth, guys. >_< I'll buy larger bags next time, but as they are biodegradeable, I don't expect they will leak any less no matter the size or brand I choose.
