If you care Compostable Kitchen Bin Bags 49.2 Litres 12 pcs
If you care compostable tall kitchen bin bags are made from biodegradable bioplastic derived from potato starch (prepared from non-GMO potatoes) mixed with a certified, fully compostable polymer. Eco-friendly potato starch bioplastic offers great utility and excellent load-bearing capacity. Potato starch has a higher percentage of amylopectin than corn or wheat starch. Amylopectin gives starch its structural integrity, making it a more durable material for manufacturing kitchen bags than corn starch. The starch comes from starch potatoes, which are not grown as a food source but solely for starch production, as they contain too much starch to be consumed. Producing the same amount of starch from potatoes requires 40 % less land than from corn. Bag volume 49.2 litres - tall design. Pack contains 12 bags. If you care compostable bags are an ideal choice for anyone who thinks ecologically and prefers compostable everyday helpers.
