Compost Bags

Shop Compostable Bags For Every Need

Dealing with waste is never glamorous. But composting? That’s a whole different story. At Epic Agriculture, we make it easy for you to take a smarter, cleaner approach to waste management with a lineup of compostable bags that actually do what they claim. You want simple. You want sustainable. You want options that work for real people. We’ve got you covered.

What Are Compostable Bags?

Compostable bags aren’t your run-of-the-mill garbage sacks pretending to be green. These are purpose-built bags made to break down into organic matter under the right conditions. They don’t just disappear into a landfill and linger for decades. Instead, they’re designed to degrade cleanly and contribute to the composting cycle, whether that’s at home or in a commercial facility.

At Epic Agriculture, we focus on bags that suit every kind of job. You’ll find thin liners for small food scrap bins and thick, rugged bags for hauling yard debris. It’s about matching your everyday needs with materials that serve both function and planet.

What Are Compostable Bags Made Of?

Not all “compostable” products are created equal. The compost bags we stock are made from high-performance, plant-based ingredients like PLA (polylactic acid), PBAT (a biodegradable polymer), and other renewable starches. These aren’t gimmicks. These are tested, proven ingredients that break down naturally.

Brands like UNNI, bioMat, and Simply Bio don’t just throw together a green label and call it a day. They work with materials that strike the right balance between durability and compostability. In fact, some of these bags are certified for home composting, yes, in your very own backyard pile. Others are best suited for industrial setups.

How Long Does It Take For Compostable Plastic Bags To Decompose?

Ah, the age-old question: how fast is fast when it comes to composting? Well, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But here’s what we’ve learned.

• - In commercial composting facilities, compostable plastic bags can break down in as little as 45 days.
• - At home, with milder conditions and a less intense microbial party, you’re looking at around 90 to 180 days.

Of course, these numbers assume that the bags are being composted properly, not tossed in a trash bin headed for the landfill. That's why knowing the intended use of each bag is key. SuperBio and Innotak, for example, clearly label whether their bags are meant for home systems or commercial environments.

Are Compostable Bags Actually Compostable?

We get it, labels can lie. And when you’re spending extra on something eco-friendly, you want to know it’s not just a greenwashed gimmick. So here’s our take: the compostable trash bags we offer do what they say, period.

How do we know? Because we vet brands like GreFusion, Aneco, and UMT Plastar for verified third-party certifications, like BPI and TÜV Austria. These aren’t fluffy marketing badges. They’re legitimate credentials that confirm a product breaks down into safe, soil-friendly elements. If it’s not tested and proven, we don’t list it.

Choosing The Right Compost Bags For Your Needs

Choosing the right bag can make or break your composting efforts. We’ve seen it too many times: someone grabs the wrong thickness or size and ends up frustrated. So let’s break it down:

• - Bag Size: Smaller 2.6-gallon bags are perfect for daily kitchen use. Larger 13 to 33-gallon bags tackle yard waste and high-volume bins.
• - Material Strength: Lighter bags are great for dry, crumbly scraps. Thicker, 1 mil bags can handle wetter loads without falling apart.
• - Closure Style: Want a drawstring? Prefer a flat-top? Pick what works for how you dispose of your waste.
• - Composting Method: Some bags are certified for backyard bins. Others are meant for commercial composting. Read the label—seriously.

The point is, what works in your garden shed might not fly in a restaurant kitchen or a landscaping business. Choose for your environment, not just the label.
