Primode Compostable Bags

These bags are certified by BPI and TÜV AUSTRIA to meet ASTM D6400 standards, which means they are designed to break down in industrial composting facilities. While they are fully compostable, they may take longer to decompose in a standard backyard compost pile depending on your specific temperature and moisture conditions.

While the product title mentions 3 gallons, the specifications confirm these bags have a 6-gallon capacity. They are sized to fit most standard small kitchen compost pails or small bathroom trash cans.

With a thickness of 0.87 mil, these bags are thicker than many standard compostable options, providing extra resistance against leaks and tears. However, because they are designed to break down, it is best to empty them into your compost bin within a few days to prevent moisture from weakening the material.

Yes, compostable bags are designed to begin breaking down over time when exposed to heat, moisture, and microorganisms. To ensure maximum strength, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place and using them within 9 to 12 months of purchase.

These bags are specifically engineered for organic waste like food scraps and yard trimmings. While they can hold small amounts of dry household trash, they are not intended for heavy, sharp, or non-compostable items that would typically go into a standard plastic garbage bag.
