Why BioBag? This company goes the distance. Not only do they talk the talk but they walk the walk. Just because a company has followed a specific standard, it doesn't mean that they have gone the distance and tested the finished product in an authorized lab. Well, Biobag has! There is no other company out there that goes this distance. The rest either are a mixture of plastic with the bioplastic or are just wasting your money! That is why we carry Biobag. They rule! That is why Biobag is the world’s largest brand of 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable bags and films which are made from the material, Mater-Bi. Mater-Bi is the patented resin that they use in the production of all of their bags. ( In other words, it is what makes the bags strong)
