About Food Waste Compostable Bag
Compostable Food Waste Bags from If You Care.
If You Care Certified Compostable Food Waste Bags are made from 100% GMO free potato starch in a fully compostable composition. These bags are all natural - completely polyethylene free and plasticiser free. If You Care Compostable Bags are stronger than bags made from corn starch. The potato starch used to make these bags come from starch potatoes, which are not grown for food but only for starch production. These potatoes are too high in starch to be good for food. Therefore, there is no diversion from food supplies. To produce the same amount of starch from these potatoes as from corn requires 40% less land. These potatoes require no irrigation, and need only normal rainfall. Corn requires much more water.
If You Care Food Waste Bags are for food waste only. They are perfect for kitchen caddies. Line compost caddies with bags to collect food scraps and food waste. Bags along with food scraps can be composted in municipal or commercial compost facilities.
About If You Care:
The If You Care brand was created in 1990 and started with unbleached coffee filters. If You Care had the first and only unbleached coffee filters in North America at that time. Parchment Baking Paper and Baking Cups soon followed, both unbleached as well. There was no other brand in the North American market offering brown chlorine-free paper products. If You Care products are produced with a view to reducing the amount of waste in our waste streams. If possible, nothing should remain after the product has been used and properly disposed of. The packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again.
