Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to traditional polyethylene storage bags, these HoldOn bags offer a significantly lower carbon footprint and do not release microplastics into the food or environment. While silicone bags are a durable multi-year option, these compostable bags are superior for situations where you might give food away or need a lightweight, flexible option that doesn't require washing and drying.

What to know before buying

1. Verify that your home compost bin maintains adequate moisture for breakdown.
2. Store the box in a cool, dry place to prevent premature degradation of the plant-based polymers.
3. Avoid using these bags for boiling water or high-heat microwave applications.
4. Note that the texture is softer and more matte than traditional clear plastic.
