What Are Compostable Kitchen Bags and Why You Need Them
Plastic trash bags might be convenient, but they’re also one of the most harmful items in our everyday lives. They can take hundreds of years to break down and release microplastics into the soil and oceans. But there’s a better solution — compostable kitchen bags.
At Lucky Family Green, we believe your everyday habits can make a difference. That’s why we offer compostable bags made from non-GMO cornstarch and plant-based materials — strong, practical, and kind to the planet.
🌿 What Does "Compostable" Actually Mean?
Not all “eco” bags are created equal.
-
Plastic bags never decompose — they just break into tiny pieces of microplastic.
-
Biodegradable bags can leave toxic residues and may require industrial facilities to break down.
-
Compostable bags, like ours, break down completely into organic matter — no toxins, no plastic.
Look for trusted certifications like:
-
BPI Certified (US) — verifies compostability under real-world conditions
-
TÜV Austria OK Compost Home — means it can decompose right in your backyard bin
Our bags are certified and tested, so you can use them with peace of mind.
✅ 5 Reasons to Switch to Compostable Bags in the Kitchen
-
No Microplastics
Compostable bags fully break down into soil nutrients — nothing harmful is left behind. -
Odor-Free Waste
Pair our bags with a compost bin that has a charcoal filter, and your kitchen stays fresh and clean. -
Less Mess, Less Guilt
Just tie the bag and drop it straight into your compost bin or green bin. Easy and clean. -
Safe for Kids and Pets
Made from natural materials — no harsh chemicals or synthetic plastics. -
Supports a Greener World
Every bag you use helps reduce landfill waste and supports a circular, zero-waste lifestyle.
📏 Which Size Bag Do You Need?
Most countertop compost bins are around 1.6 gallons (6 liters). Our Lucky Family Green compostable bags are designed to fit these perfectly. They're 0.71 mil thick, strong enough to hold food scraps but still decompose quickly.
If you use a 2.6-gallon bin, we recommend looking for larger options — we’re working on new sizes soon!
🧊 How to Store Compostable Bags
Since compostable bags are made from plant-based materials, they’re sensitive to heat and moisture.
Here’s how to store them properly:
-
Keep them in a cool, dry place (avoid placing them near the oven or dishwasher).
-
Use the bags within 9–12 months of purchase for best strength and freshness.
