Description

HoldOn was born from the simple idea that there had to be a better way to go about our daily chores—and it can start with a better bag. HoldOn bags are super strong, durable trash bags made with compostable materials and plant-based renewables like cornstarch. The result? A heavy-duty bag that is made without traditional plastic and is free from harmful toxins like BPA and PFOA. When composted, the bags break down cleanly without microplastics or toxic residue in weeks.

What's more is we always pack in recyclable, 100% FSC-certified packaging—never plastic. Packaging switched from plastic to paper, aluminum, steel, or glass.

Product contains compostable elements and is available in two convenient sizes that are strong for you and gentle on the planet.

Q: The thinkness of the 4 gallon bags -- printed on the photo of the box -- says .63 MIL, but under the specifications tab, it says .98 MIL. Which is it?

submitted by CDK - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll get this updated on the product details page as soon as possible. The thickness of the 4g bag is .63 MIL (what's printed on the box itself). Thank you and so sorry for the confusion here!

Q: Can I use these as trash bags, to contribute less plastic to landfills?

submitted by wd - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there, and thanks for your question! While these bags are most effective for gathering compostable items (e.g., food scraps) to dispose of and divert to commercial compost facilities, they can also surely be used in lieu of conventional plastic trash bags to help reduce the use of single-use traditional plastic that end up in landfills. Thank you!

upgrading the home

I wanted to upgrade from using old plastic shopping bags for small trash can liners, so tried these out and am delighted by how they feel and perform! As a perk, they make my bathrooms look elevated :)

Not "heavy duty" nor moisture-tight

These bags aren't leakproof or moisture-tight, despite being billed as "heavy duty". I don't recommend them. Tried these for my food waste pail, which I empty ~weekly. A majority of my food waste is used coffee filters w/ grounds. I leave the top of my coffee maker open after brewing to aid drying, and tend to toss the filter the next morning. And I don't live in a humid area. So the spent grounds aren't maximally moist. But even with 2 layers of these bags, several times the residual coffee has seeped or leaked(?) through the bags to soil the container and grow mold, defeating the purpose of using liner bags. To their slight credit, I've never experienced tearing of the bags.

They hold up very well, are strong and don’t come apart at the seams like some compostable bags do.

Not very strong.

These bags aren't very strong. They tear extremely easy. I'll use the remaining ones I have but won't be ordering more. I LOVE the concept of them but for trash, they're just not strong. They have a perforated edge at the top of the bag and it rips off pretty easily.

Fits only 2 gallon trash

This bag claims to be 4 gallons and maybe it is under perfect laboratory conditions. It fits only my tiny 2 gallon trash. Don’t be fooled into thinking this will fit a 4 gallon trash container, or even a 3 gallon container. Trying to see how one could possible fit 4 gallons in here …

Disintegrates while using

The bags are definitely compostable, but they deteriorate while being used! We are separating our organic waste per trash regulations and I thought these would be great for the food waste bin. Problem is that after only 1-2 days with a small amount of food in the bin, the bottom of the bag literally dissolves defeating the purpose of using a bag in the first place. I don’t want to have to change the bag daily, or even every two days as that is very wasteful. I’m trying doubling the bag while I use up the box of bags but I’m going to have to switch to another brand. Don’t recommend.

For heavy and wet it works amazing!

Actually works and hold up for a few days I don't have to take it out just because there's too much liquid

Constant Ripping & Double Bagging Needed

Had to use double bags because each bag was ripping after a couple of days. Even the double bags were ripping. I wanted to support a smaller company, but will have to go back to Hefty because those didn't rip and didn't require double bags.

Too short

So I got these because the Up & Up (17 in X 18 in X 0.5 mil) ones are no longer being sold & I bought the Gain (8.75 in X 8.25 X 1 ft 6 in X 0.5 mil) ones & they were too short. I strongly believe these bags are not the size they claim to be. They are the exact size as the gain

Great

I've been using these since last year. I'm careful removing them from the box because I did tear one before, but otherwise they're holding up better than the other brand I tried, and they're often on sale.
