BioBag is made of Mater-Bi, a 100% compostable and biodegradable material. Mater-Bi is based on comstarch, vegetable oil and compostable polyester. BioBag is completely composted within 10-45 days in a controlled composting facility. The degradation time depends on the composting process, i.e. pH value, temperature, etc. By using BioBag, you contribute to a more environmentalhr sustainable development. A Life Cycle Analysis — LCA, has compared BioBag with PE /paperbags. The LCA shows that BioBag has less impact on the environment concerning the greenhouse effect and acid precipitation.
