Biodegradable Retail Bags

Ban the plastic grocery bag and offer your customers a plant-based, compostable substitute. Because We Care has a range of easy-to-use biodegradable retail bags that are made entirely from a KF90 or BF90 corn starch resin. These bags are the same size as a standard supermarket shopping bag and are high-quality and strong, with convenient handles. They’re also made to a standard thickness of 35um to support heavy shopping items without fear of breaking. Designed with supermarkets, retail stores, local convenience stores and grocers in mind, these bags are ideal for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact with eco-friendly, plant-based and non-toxic retail packaging supplies.

Fully biodegradable and certified compostable to meet international standards, our compostable retail bags in Melbourne and beyond can be disposed of into a home or industrial composting facility. After use, your customers can throw the bag away with their organic waste items. It will decompose within 180 days in a home compost bin, or 90 days if sent to an industrial facility.
