I like to help the environment and am happy to see more companies moving in that direction with their products and the packaging. I had hopes for these kitchen bags in that spirit, but was disappointed as the bags usually tear while getting them free of the box and separated from the next bag. Once a tear begins it just unzips the bag lengthwise making it unusable. Of the twelve bags in the box only two came out and were usable without tears. Those two held up well enough over a few days to fill the bag and remove it without breaking or dissolving. With that said it was not getting filled with “wet” trash until right when it was time to take the bag out. The packaging is confusing as it shows it can be home composted with another mark next to that one that said it can only be commercially composted. I will keep an eye out to see if a newer version of this product becomes available in the future that is less likely to tear. It’s a great concept that still needs some work.
