How to Distinguish Compostable Bags?
Texture: Compostable bags feel soft and silky, whereas traditional plastic bags are much stiffer.
Smell: Compostable bags smell like cereal while traditional plastic bags have a pungent odor or no smell.
Appearance: Compostable bags are usually opaque with a matte finish, while traditional plastic bags are generally clear or glossy.
Labeling: Compostable bags are usually printed with a BPI or other certification label, while plastic bags are labeled with a recycling symbol.
Shelf Life: Due to the degradation properties of compostable bags, they generally have a shelf life of no more than one year. However, non-degradable plastic bags have a long shelf life of up to five years.
