Customer Review: As a kitchen trash bag you MUST commit
Summary: 3 Stars
As I am attempting to "green" up my lifestyle, I originally bought these to use for used cat litter and dirty diapers, but ended up replacing my seventh gen kitchen trash bags (temporarily) with these neat biodegradable bags. I love the idea of them breaking down, allowing my trash a chance to biodegrade faster.
These are a "whisper of a trash bag" and I had the most challenging task of using these during the prime summer months (Jun-Aug). My trash is picked up once a week (like most people's), and I experimented with these by emptying my cat's litter box (we use feline pine) in a bio bag. The litter had to sit 5 days before pick up, and I even kept the bag in a cool place. Wrong. The bag broke down and I had the unfortunate task of double bagging (that's where these bags would become outrageously unaffordable). Next, I changed my cat box changing schedule so that I would empty it on trash day (this experiment was in July). Still no good. My trash collectors come in the mid afternoon and the bag didn't make it through the hot humid day. From my experiments (at least in the summer months), I could not use these bags individually for feline pine cat litter.
Next, I used these bags for my diaper pail (still summer). I only have one toddler (almost 2) in diapers, and I found that the bag is fine if it is used for diapers (no wipes in the pail) and taken out weekly (which gets only halfway full in 7 days), but if I waited until I filled my diaper pail (which takes about 2 weeks), too much moisture got built up in the pail and the bag dissolved. Most people don't want stinky diapers kicking it in the house for 2 weeks, but it's unfortunate to use these expensive bags to half capacity, so either way, you lose.
Finally, I found a use for these bags, and that was as my main kitchen bag; but, you have to make significant changes in the way you throw out trash. First off, I read up on these bags, and a previous reviewer stated that if you put your wet trash in, say, an empty bread bag you were going to discard anyway, that these bags will work. I had saved a bunch of these kinds of bags for my cat's litter, so that's how I made these bio bags work. I'd line my can with the bio bag, and on top of the closed can, I'd have an old bagel bag or deli lunch meat ziplock as my wet trash reserve, and if I came up on wet trash I'd put it in that bag, then once that filled up I put the bag of wet trash in the bio bag. As long as the trash didn't get too heavy (or wet), my biobags would make it through a week. If you put wet trash (kitchen scraps, baby wipes, etc) in a biobag, you're doomed.
From my experience using the biobags, they really make you cognizant of how you throw things away. Sure, it seems pointless to put your trash in a bunch of basically plastic bags to put it in another bag, but at least you are taking one layer of plastic out of the equation. Every plastic bag I used to hold wet trash was going to be in my trash, anyway. You'd be surprised how many odd plastic bags you throw away (bread bags, empty chip bags, empty cereal bags, etc). It also showed me just how much wet, compostable garbage I make (kitchen scraps), and it proved to me how I really make enough fruit and veggie scraps for composting. But on the other hand, biobags turned me into a total neurotic over my trash can, as I played trash police with my family and friends. If you can get everyone around you to get with the "system," these bags will work for you. For me, honestly, it wasn't worth all the trouble. I am still sticking with my seventh generation trash bags. :(
