BioBag Compostable Sandwich Bags - 25 Count, Perfect for Lunches & Snacks, 6.5x6.7 inches

I like biodegradable sandwich bags, both for sandwiches and to contain the odor compost items so the kitchen doesn't reek of rotting banana peels when I open the bin.In the past year, though, Biobag has shipped them tightly sealed. Thanks for showing how well they seal, but I've already bought them. Opening one to insert a sandwich requires a concerted effort, and about 1 bag in 10 rips in the process, especially if you're in a hurry. If I find a brand of biodegradable sandwich bag that isn't a challenge to use, I'll probably switch.

I love this product. I try hard not to use baggies or other single use plastics. But, sometimes I need a baggie. These are a good product. The cost is a bit expensive for the amount you receive- but then again that might help you to use less. Either way, a well crafted product that holds up well.

Work just as well as plastic and I’m able to reuse them many times before composting.Update 4/9/24The last box I ordered, none of the bags would open and the tops just ripped off. I guess their quality control has gone down the tubes😡

I'd say, the most important thing to know about these handy little bags is that they are great for some foods, but less than ideal for others. The bags are breathable so they are perfect for storing things like fresh vegetables which do better when not in an airtight container (they let off gases as they decay); however, things like cheese will start to harden after a couple days.If you are considering this product, then you (like myself) probably hate the waste associated with plastic. But there are some cases when a bag is the most useful container...this product provides the convenience of a ziplock bag without the guilt of creating more plastic waste.Just like any other task, food storage is a matter of finding the right tool for every job. So while these bags might not be useful for all foods, they are certainly a useful tool to have in your food storage toolbox.For anyone who is interested, I thought I would share another option for non-plastic food storage (and its free): glass jars (I'm sure many of you already do this, but I didn't realize all the uses for glass jars until I started looking at some sustainable living blogs, so I thought I would share the tip to anyone who finds it useful). Next time you rinse out a jar of pickles, spaghetti sauce, grape jelly etc., instead of throwing it in the recycling bin, hang on to it. Jars are surprisingly handy, they come in shapes and sizes and have an endless number of uses. Here are some things you can store: refrigerated foods (left over soup/sauces), dry/non-perishable items (I use glass jars to store flour, sugar, coffee, tea, dry beans, pasta etc.), office supplies (staples, paper clips, rubber bands), toiletries (cotton balls, Q-tips), small jars are great for organizing a workbench (nails, screws, bolts, washers), I've also seen them used as cute drinking glasses for tea/lemonade.I don't know why but I really love taking things meant for the bin and giving them new uses.

I love these. I feel so good that they don't use any petroleum, that they are compostable and that they don't have any chemicals that I have to worry about. They're green so you can't really see in well, but probably well enough to know if it's what you're looking for. There's no bad smell, and I like the way they feel. I rinse them out and use them again and I think it's easier to do that with these green bags than with the traditional ones. I think they would be particular good for someone who is using them for kids' foods or baby foods.
