We are excited to introduce our BIO bags for grapes!

These bags are certified home compostable, made from 20% bio-based plastic and 80% fully compostable fossil-based polymers. With an active and healthy compost heap, these bags will disintegrate within six months!

The U.S. and European Union revealed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference a partnership to cut greenhouse gas methane emissions by 2030. Although there’s more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, methane is more than 80 times more potent. That’s where composting comes in. Composting is a natural recycling process in which organisms eat organic matter and expel it as compost, or rich soil.

Our home trash cans are major sources of methane emissions. The average household trash contains about 35% organic waste, which could be composted. But this trash goes to a landfill, where it degrades without oxygen, generating methane instead. By composting, we can collectively make a significant impact on global warming and create nutrient rich compost soils at the same time.

In these grape bags, there are no micro-plastics (or plastics of any kind) left behind once the package has biodegraded in compost.

Stay tuned! Later this year we will be making many changes to our website including an interactive page devoted to the “hows” and “whys” of composting to educate and help YOU on your composting journey.

Now, let’s get out there and Snack with IMPACT!
