Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Biosealed compostable bags
Product Information
What are Biosealed bags made from?
Biosealed bags are made from 100% plant-based materials, primarily PBAT (a biodegradable polyester) and cornstarch. They contain zero petroleum-based plastics, BPA, phthalates, or PFAS—making them completely safe for your family and the environment.
Are Biosealed bags as strong as regular plastic bags?
Yes! Biosealed bags are leak-resistant and strong enough for everyday food storage, meal prep, and even freezer use. They're designed to protect your food reliably, then return to the earth when you're done—without lasting 1000 years like plastic.
Can I use these bags in the freezer?
Absolutely! Biosealed bags are freezer-safe and work great for storing frozen fruits, vegetables, meats, and meal prep items. They maintain their strength and integrity in cold temperatures.
Are they safe for hot foods?
Yes, for warm foods! Biosealed bags are safe for foods up to 120-140°F (50-60°C)—perfect for warm sandwiches, room-temperature meal prep, and leftover storage. Unlike plastic bags, they're toxin-free and won't leach chemicals. We don't recommend boiling hot foods or microwave heating.
Can I wash and reuse Biosealed bags?
Yes, for gentle use! You can rinse and air-dry Biosealed bags for reuse with dry foods like snacks, sandwiches, or produce. They work best as single-use for wet or greasy foods, but gentle reuse extends their value before composting.
Composting & Environment
Are Biosealed bags really compostable?
Yes! Our bags are BPI certified compostable and break down in 90 days in commercial composting facilities. They're also certified for home composting, though breakdown time may be longer due to lower temperatures.
Where can I compost these bags?
Biosealed bags can be composted in commercial composting facilities. Check with your local municipal composting program—many cities now offer curbside compost pickup! You can also use services like ShareWaste or CompostNow. Home composting is possible but may take longer.
What certifications do Biosealed bags have?
Our bags are BPI certified compostable, TÜV Austria certified, and certified for home composting. These certifications ensure our bags meet strict standards for biodegradability and safety.
How do Biosealed bags help the environment?
Unlike traditional plastic bags that take 500-1000 years to decompose and pollute our oceans, Biosealed bags break down in just 90 days. They're made from renewable plant materials instead of petroleum, don't release harmful chemicals, and are safe for marine life.
