POWERTEC is proud to announce a new product, compostable food storage bags. These join our "green and sustainable" line of products which include compostable garbage bags, which come in a variety of sizes (13, 8, & 3 gallons) and compostable dog waste bags.
Safe and Eco-Friendly
POWERTEC compostable food storage bags are a safe and eco-friendly solution for storing food items. These bags are solid and dependable for a shelf life of one year, after which they start to decompose.
Single-use plastics are some of the worst offenders polluting our planet. Items such as plastic bags can take decades to break down in landfills, and in the process, they often release toxic chemicals into the environment.
However, unlike plastic straws and disposable cutlery, food storage bags have always been an awkward item to substitute. Wax paper isn't airtight or waterproof. Plastic airtight containers can be bulky and may contain BPA,while glass containers can be too heavy and impractical, especially for kids.
We often make do with plastic food storage bags, reusing them as much as we can until they accumulate too much old mayo and alfalfa in the corners to ignore. Sure, it's not single use, and until recently, it's been the best option available. But even with repeated use, these food storage bags eventually wind up in a landfill somewhere.
Airtight and Reusable
POWERTEC compostable bags are the best of both worlds. Yes, you can still reuse them; and until the shelf life passes, they're a secure way to store anything that needs to be sealed airtight.
Once the bags reach the end of their shelf life, they'll naturally start to biodegrade. And, since the bags are made of non-toxic plant starches, they won't release any harmful chemicals into the soil as they breakdown.
ASTM D6400 Certified
POWERTEC compostable bags are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 standard that tests for disintegration, biodegradation and ecological impact.
