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.

5 of 5 Biodegradable Cello bags August 9, 2016
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Ithaca, NY United States  
Great bags - have used them to store dry and moist (not wet) food and they hold up well. Rinsed them out and allowed them to dry - they are reusable!

4 of 5 Great Product May 26, 2015
Reviewer: Brandon Wickes from Morton, WA United States  
I bought these bags to package salad greens for a farmers market.  So far they seem great.  I was a bit concerned about the size (it's hard to gauge without seeing them in person), but I think they turned out to be the perfect size.  Thanks again for a great product!
