Q: I believe the answer to this is yes but is the drawstring also compostable? It feels a bit thicker than the rest of the bag so just clarifying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These compostable bags are great for the car when my boys have orange peels and banana peels from breakfast on the go. They are sturdy and not easily ripped. They fit small trash bins around the house for more environmentally friendly liners as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no scent really, the durability is less than a normal trash bag. It takes a full year to fully decompose. There’s a lot of room for just “scraps” so it kinda feels like a waste

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, these trash bags have an interesting texture. It’s kinda cool to learn they’re from recycled fibers but are also biodegradable. More trash bags should have these qualities! There would be a lot less plastic waste in our oceans!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Matter small compostable trash bags for a while now, and I'm really impressed. They fit perfectly in my small kitchen bin that goes in the cabinet, and they hold up well to typical kitchen waste. They're especially great for things like vegetable peels and other compostable scraps that I would normally put in my compost pile. The best part is knowing that the bags themselves break down, which aligns with my goal of reducing my environmental footprint. I haven't had any issues with leaks or tears, and they seem just as durable as regular plastic bags, but with the added benefit of being compostable.

Environmentally Friendly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying to think of ways to reduce the waste my family produces. These bags are made to decompose over time, and will hopefully impact what we can do in the future. We live in an apartment so having our on compost or feeding chickens scraps isn’t in our immediate future. But any little impact we can do can help us at least feel like we’re helping the environment in some way. They fit a 3 gallon can, and so far pretty durable. One change at a time.

Such clean and strong bags

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a discovery these bags! I’ve never used Matter products before and with the compostable small kitchen scrap bags they convinced me. They feel as strong as regular plastic bags, but they’re made from renewable, plant-based materials that actually break down in compost. I love that they make the effort to certify for both home compost and industrial compost programs. The drawstring is really practical, it keeps the bag tight on the bin and makes it easy to tie up and carry out without any mess. The natural color is a nice reminder that it’s not plastic but something better for the planet. The no PFAS, BPA, or weird additives are just more pluses. I feel I’m doing good for the planet while using clean and safe, sustainable trash bags.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A super organic bag that, despite being organic, is quite resistant. It feels very good quality, very comfortable, and lasts a long time. The construction of the bag is also very good. I really loved it, especially because they are organic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been thinking about composting for a while because I grow lots of houseplants it’s great for soil. The bag is plant based and breaks down over time, just throw it in the pile no worries when full. Be careful and don’t forget to use them because they will break down in your cabinet too. Very well made bags the hold up to three gallons of compost material, they fit perfect on small trash cans with a lid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these compostable bags for my kitchen scraps and I’m really impressed. They’re strong like regular plastic bags but made from plants, which makes me feel so much better about using them. The drawstring is super convenient—it keeps the bag from slipping into the bin and makes tying up easy. I love that they’re certified compostable and perfect for backyard composting or drop-off programs. No leaks, no mess, and they hold up well even with wet food scraps. Definitely my go-to for eco-friendly kitchen waste!
