When paper is used in a wet state , wet strength and tear resistance are two of the most important material properties.

Manufacturers of cheap paper organic waste bags use the simplest quality waste paper in their production. This not only leads to a higher proportion of non-paper components and unwanted materials, but also to short paper fibers. This often means that the necessary strength is lacking for moist organic waste.

At BioGlück, we therefore rely on high-quality basic materials for our organic waste bags and use high-quality waste paper in combination with cellulose fibers from forestry. Both types of fiber are combined in a special process to produce organic waste bags with high wet strength and tear resistance .

No. So-called "bioplastics" are usually a deceptive product. This is because plastics made from plants such as sugar, potatoes or corn are not necessarily more environmentally friendly.

Bioplastics are generally no better for the environment. They are difficult to recycle and growing plants for plastic production often involves increased pesticide use and is done in monocultures. If they enter the environment, they remain there for a very long time and can be just as harmful as petroleum-based plastics.

Carrier bags made of biodegradable plastics are also not environmentally friendly. They decompose very slowly in nature and tempt people not to dispose of them properly.

Bioplastic garbage bags are regularly separated out in the composting plant. Unlike organic waste bags made of paper, bioplastic bags cannot be distinguished from plastic bags with the naked eye. Therefore, like plastic bags, they are separated out of the organic waste along with their contents and burned.

Composting organic waste such as leaves and grass clippings typically only takes six to ten weeks, but this period is too short for bioplastic bags.

For this reason, composting plants separate bioplastic bags from other plastics and recycle them as residual waste.

If a large number of consumers were to switch to bioplastic bags, they would require a change in the waste management system.

The basic rule is: only put organic waste in paper bags in the organic waste bin!

Plastic bags may not be used for organic waste because they cannot be broken down without residues during the fermentation and composting process. Like other plastic bags and contaminants, they must therefore be laboriously sorted out and burned as residual waste. This also includes the compostable or biodegradable plastic bags made from corn starch that are sold in stores.

Our kraft paper bags are the alternative. They are water- and tear-resistant, made from a renewable raw material and 100% compostable and degradable. This means that the strict requirements of municipal waste disposal companies are met.
