Common Questions
Q: Are these bags truly compostable, and how long do they take to break down?
A: Yes! These bags are made from renewable cellulose and will fully decompose in a commercial composting facility within 90-180 days. In a home compost pile, they may take a bit longer depending on conditions. They meet ASTM D6400 standards for compostability.
Q: Will biodegradable bags keep my coffee or tea fresh?
A: Absolutely. The 1.65 mil thickness provides excellent moisture and oxygen barrier properties. Your coffee will stay aromatic and your tea will retain its flavor just like conventional cellophane. For maximum freshness, heat seal the bags and recommend customers store in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can I use these for my cottage food business or farmers market?
A: These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, making them perfect for cottage food operations, farmers markets, and retail sales. The eco-friendly angle is a great selling point — many customers specifically look for sustainable packaging options.
