Paper bags is eco-friendly, but not all are safe for compost. Uncoated grocery bags decompose well, while plastic-coated or heavily inked ones should be avoided. Fast food and shipping bags often have grease or synthetic layers—remove contaminants before composting. Torise’s certified compostable paper bags break down fully within 90–180 days, leaving no waste. For best results, shred bags, balance compost materials, and maintain moisture. Choose plastic-free options for a greener future.

Torise Biomaterials provides innovative compostable plastic bags to help companies meet global environmental standards.

There is a growing demand for sustainable packaging, especially when it comes to kitchen waste management. While uncoated kraft paper bags are compostable, many are coated with plastic or chemicals, which slow degradation. Torise Biomaterials’ compostable kitchen paper bags are oil and water resistant, hold up to 8kg of waste, and are 100% compostable. Certified by BPI, they outperform traditional bags and can reduce plastic waste in foodservice and municipal waste management.

Compostable bags are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic that quickly decompose into organic matter without harming the environment. They help reduce plastic pollution and support the circular economy by enriching the soil. Unlike biodegradable bags, which degrade slowly and may leave residue, compostable bags decompose safely in industrial composting facilities. As the demand for sustainable products continues to increase, compostable packaging is expected to change the future of packaging.
