BioBag 33 Gallon Lawn & Leaf Wave Top/Star Seal

Our 33 Gallon Lawn and Leaf bags are even more earth friendly coming 10 bags per roll. Yes, that is per roll, not box, so less packaging is required. BioBag Lawn & Leaf bags are a full 33 gallon capacity, measuring 32.5 inches wide and 39 inches tall. Our Lawn & Leaf bags are durable and sturdy enough to handle the toughest yard jobs. They even come with a removable tear-strip at the top of each bag for easy tying and are star sealed at the bottom for a stronger hold. Many communities have banned the use of regular plastic bags for yard waste removal, because polyethylene-based plastic bags can not be composted with the yard waste or burned. Until now the alternative has been paper bags. Studies show paper bags are difficult for consumers to use and store, have a limited fill capacity (usually 28 gallons), and do not hold up well in wet weather. Usage testing confirms that consumers significantly prefer BioBag Lawn & Leaf bags to paper bags for the collection of yard waste. Consumers like that fact that BioBags “give”, allowing more waste to be collected per bag. They also prefer bags made from corn to either bags made from trees or petroleum. BioBag Lawn & Leaf bags can be set at curbside for up to 12 days before the collected waste will begin to break the bag down. We strongly recommend that wet grass clippings be left on the lawn, where the clippings will quickly biodegrade and add nutrient value to your lawn. Placing wet grass clippings in either a paper bag or a BioBag can stimulate bag decomposition within three or four days. * BioBag products are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification. The BPI logo is shown at the bottom of this page. Always look for the logo to assure the products you buy are truly biodegradable and compostable. * BioBag products meet the new California law, SB 1749, for biodegradable and compostable product claims. * BioBags are certified GMO Free. Furthermore, we only source corn from countries that do not allow GMO testing. * No polyethylene is used in the production of BioBags. * BioBags are DEN certified for restricted use of metals in our soy-based inks and dyes. * BioBags are shelf stable, just like paper plates or paper towels. There are no chemical additives to enhance decomposition. The bags biodegrade naturally when expose to the earth’s elements and micro-organisms in the soil. * BioBags “breathe”, which allows heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This feature reduces bacterial build-up of collected waste, thus reducing odor. * BioBags will decompose in a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no harmful residues behind. * BioBags will decompose in a natural setting at an extended rate comparable to other naturally biodegradable materials, such as paper, leaves and food waste. * BioBags will biodegrade in both fresh and salt water. Australian studies suggest decomposition occurs between 8-14 months. We do not support placing any material in our oceans, lakes or waterways. Landfill Placement of BioBags: BioBags are designed to be composted and returned naturally back to the earth. If BioBags are placed in an “open” or “turned” landfill they will decompose at a rate similar to other biodegradable materials in the same setting. If BioBags are placed in an anaerobic (air-locked) landfill and deprived of oxygen and the existence of the micro-organisms that “eat” naturally biodegradable materials, their ability to decompose will be severely restricted. This is true of all biodegradable materials placed in this setting, including paper, yard waste and food waste. As a consumer, you should be quite suspicious of any manufacturer making claims that their products will biodegrade quickly in an air-locked landfill.
