If you are concerned about the environment, do not buy these bags. Although these bags break down in a landfill, thus reducing bulk, they do not completely biodegrade into inert ingredients. They are made from PLASTIC, so it stands to reason that they cannot break down completely, since plastics cannot do that. The plastic in the bags will break down into microscopic particles that are, in themselves, a biohazard, being inhaled through the air we breathe, leached into water sources, and possibly consumed by animals we may use for food. If you want a product that breaks down to become what is effectively soil, contains no toxins and can support plant life, do not choose this product. Look for products that are certified compostable and biodegradable by ASTM standards. And look up the definitions of these standards so you can be an educated comsumer. If you can find products that meet California's standards, better yet, as they have the stricted standards. I used these bags for a while and preferred them to other compostable bags because they were so much stronger and did not fall apart. However, I did not realize that the claims the company makes are misleading because they lead the buyer to feel they are making a "green" choice, when in fact, they are not.

| Best garbage bags I have ever used. Hopefully, Amazon will continue to carry these regardless of whether they are shown to be fully biodegradable. |

The price listed of $89 is ridiculous and indicative of someone trying to profit off of peoples good intentions..........just bought a box with 12 bags at Sprouts farmers market for $6.99.....4 boxes as in this offer would be less than $28.
The bags are great quality though just don't buy them from this seller. |
Only bags I buy!

| I really like these bags and using these bags make me feel much better about the environment than using Glad bags. They are great kitchen bags and they don't have the cool stuff Glad bags have but really....it's for trash! |
Plastic is NOT biodegradeable!

| I think the average consumer, and sometimes the slightly educated person, accepts false advertisement on a product finding themselves duped by unethical business & marketing tactics. I'm here to say that the word 'plastic' and 'biodegradeable' should NEVER been in the same sentence. Plastic will NEVER biodegrade... meaning it does not break down into organic compounds that can then be used by the natural lifecycle of our planet. What plastic does do is PHOTODEGRADE... and all this means is that the bag (or the infamous plastic bottle - my personal nemesis) you see today will eventually break up into small bits the size of a grain of sand. The plastic is STILL there, it still is hydrophobic, it still transports hydrophobic contaminants into our ground water, it still causes havoc in our marine environments... we solve absolutely NOTHING with a plastic/hydrocarbon-based product... especially this one that says it breaks down even FASTER than it should... which at the end of the day may create more problems for us at a much faster rate. Please do NOT fall for this product thinking your doing something good for mother nature! |

| these bags work as well as any other trash bags. i feel better about using them rather that other trash bags because they are better for the environment. i recommend these trash bags for use in every trash except a diaper pail. these bags do not lock in any odor. |
GREAT Eco bags!

First bought these at Walgreens to try them out. High quality-never had an issue with leakage or breakage.
Very easy to use. Love the fact that they're biodegradable! |

| I have been using these bags now for about a year. They are strong and work just as well as ordinary bags. Worth the extra pennies for a more responsible product. 4 boxes at this price is very similar to the product you get in the grocery store. Thanks amazon for having such great choices. |

| I now cant go back to plastic! I have used them for 6 months now. These are durable, thick, hold up to heavy loads and have sturdy handles. And, they are no more expensive than plastic bags of the same quality. No excuse, go green with these bags. No sacrifice in quality/durability from plastic. |
