Biodegradable packing peanuts
Styrofoam takes up about 30% of landfills.
Many companies have developed packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable ISO (International Organization for Standardization) definition.
They are made from all-natural plant material, such as sorghum or, more commonly, corn starch. With direct contact with water, the peanuts degrade into inert proteins that are consumed by bacteria.
Biodegradable resin is transported in pellet form, from which peanuts are produced on demand using a machine. This saves energy and warehouse space.

Negative aspects of real plastic bags
Can take over 100 years to degrade.
Cannot be composted.
Less than 2% actually get recycled.
Studies indicate 100,000 marine animals and 2 million birds die each year from ingesting or being caught in plastic debris.

Benefits and Info on BioBag
It can “breathe” without leaking. The material allows the passage of air but is resistant to liquid.
Consequently, it keeps produce more fresh.
Biodegradable bags decompose as naturally as food scraps so they are compostable.
Made from material called Mater-Bi.
Contains no polyethylene (plastic).
They are shelf stable. (only decompose when exposed to natural environment)
They leave no harmful residues behind.
“Bag from corn”
They meet California Law, SB 1749 and 1979, for biodegradable and compostable product claims
They are GMO free.
No chemical additives to enhance decomposition
Decompose in 10-45 days.
Do not decompose well in landfill conditions
BioBag was recently selected to promote San Francisco’s food waste collection program. The city is sending 100,000 rolls of BioBags to residents to educate consumers on the importance of diverting food and other biodegradable waste from entering landfills.
