Q: How long will they hold up in a bin until they start falling apart?

submitted by sk24 - 3 months ago
  • A: That answer really depends on what you put in them, especially at the bottom of the bin. We generally advise not to putt acidic items, such as citrus or coffee grounds, at the bottom, as that will make the bottom of the bags disintegrate faster. For the most part, the bags are designed to not significantly break down until they reach a composting facility or your backyard.

These bags have changed!

I've been using these bags for months and loving them. The most recent ones I ordered were different, though. The bag and drawstring are a slightly different color, and the bags themselves are flimsy. Several bags ripped just pulling them out of the box, and I had three in a row split down the seams before I gave up. I had bought two boxes at the same time, and both boxes have the same problem. It looks like they changed the product and now it's terrible, which is disappointing!

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Theses trash bags are really great. They’re strong and can hold a lot of trash without ripping. It’s easy to tie when your ready to take the trash out. And it’s even better that they are compostable.

Great compostable bags

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these compostable bags. They are big enough for all your kitchen scraps, but not too big. They work really well. They're strong and don't smell. I highly recommend.

Strong, eco-friendly bags that fit perfectly and m

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Matter Compostable Tall Kitchen Trash Bags for a while now, and I’m really impressed with their quality and eco-friendliness. The fit is perfect for a standard 13-gallon kitchen bin, and they’re easy to tie up without slipping down. Despite being compostable, they’re surprisingly durable and can handle regular household waste without tearing or leaking. The strength is solid for food scraps and light to medium trash loads, though I wouldn’t recommend them for heavy or sharp items. I also appreciate that there’s no strong plastic scent—just a clean, neutral smell. Best of all, they break down naturally, which makes me feel better about reducing plastic waste and helping the environment.

Works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works really well sometimes it's struggles to handle too much garbage so the bag will rip but other than that it works really well pretty satisfied with the product

Take care of our planet one bag at a time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is perfect for my trash can. I love they are non-scented. I personally don't like scented trash bags since it bothers my nose. They are just as strong as plastic bags offering it long durability. And let's not forget that they are eco-friendly! A great product to help our planet ♻️

Best compostable trash bag I’ve seen, robust but f

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impression when I took the bag out was how robust it was. The majority of my experiences with a variety of compostable bags both at work and at home have been negative. They just fall apart or are so thin that you need to double bag not to tear them. This bag however is the most similar to other off the shelf non-compostable bags. It is robust and don’t break down too quickly when introduced to my wet kitchen waste. Over all an excellent option and easily the best I’ve encountered. The only reason it don’t get a five was because the material is so slippery and there is no form fit around the top that it kept slipping off the lip of the trash container I had. This wouldn’t be a problem for a stand alone can with a sleeve that it can pinch between but my built ins wouldn’t hold them. To improve and make them a 5/5 I suggest some sort of build in synching mechanism at the opening to tighten over the can. Otherwise, it would also be easy to 3D print some clips out of PLA (also biodegradable) and include a set in each box.

Love these bags

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these compostable trash bags for the kitchen. They hold a lot of trash and fits in your standard tall kitchen trash can. The material is different from regular bags. Doesn’t cling. We’ve been using it and love it.

Compostable garbage bags? Yes, please!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compostable garbage bags? Yes, please! I love the idea of not putting more plastic into our lives and the landfills. So these just make sense to me. The Matter 13-gallon compostable bags are a great eco-friendly option. They’re fully compostable in 12 months with no harmful chemicals, and can be used in both backyard and industrial composting. They’re not quite as stretchy as regular plastic bags, but they still hold up well and get the job done. I love that they fit perfectly in a standard kitchen can, and the strong drawstring handles make tying and carrying super easy. Best of all, Matter compostable bags are internationally certified, so I know I’m using something that’s truly safe for the planet.

Great for composting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great, I'm sure, if you're using it for composting. It's not ideal when you grab it, thinking it's a regular trash bag and your trash ends up all over the floor. But that's on me, and not the product. I just need to learn how to read labels.

Trash Bags That Make a Difference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying out the Matter Compostable Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, and I’m seriously impressed.

Plus, they’re BPA-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and contain no added PFAS. 👏 Eco-friendly + reliable = a total win for my kitchen! ♻️💚

Earth friendly matters!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These matter Compostable Kitchen Trash Bags are such a cool concept! I love that these are earth friendly and made from plants yet durable with drawstrings to make for easy disposal without snapping. There's no scent and I haven't had any issues with these bags busting or ripping open on me. I like the environmental fact and QR code on each bag and these fit my kitchen trash can perfectly. The only issue I had was one of the bags did leak just a bit, but these are worth it in my opinion!

Environment Friendly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Matter Compostable Tall Kitchen Trash Bags - 13 gal/40ct are super nice quality. They stay up in my kitchen garbage can, so I dont have to worry about them slipping down into the can and making a huge mess. The bags are durable and not easily ripped or not easily penetrated by sharp edges. The drawstrings are long and heavy duty, easy to use, and easy to tie. I like that they are better for the environment, whether you are using them for food scraps only or for regular trash. This is a brand that I am definitely proud to stand behind and I would recommend it to all my friends and family!

Can’t hurt to try

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These garbage bags seem to work good. They are thick and seem to hold a lot. I’m not really sure how to rate a garbage bag other than it rips or doesn’t rip when full. I’d consider buying these if price is right as they are better for the environment than others.

Good brand and very sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never heard of this brand so I was excited to try it. They fit perfect in the trashcan that I have in my kitchen. They are very sturdy. I also like reading the facts on the bags before I put them in the trashcan.

Good trash bags!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these trash bags are great if you’re trying to be more sustainable for the environment! They are pretty strong but look and feel flimsy. There’s no scent at all
