Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to UNNI 13-gallon compostable bags, ECOLipak offers a higher count per package at a slightly lower price per bag, making it more economical for frequent use. It competes with HoldOn drawstring compostable bags, but ECOLipak lacks drawstrings, relying on tie closure. It outperforms uncertified biodegradable bags that may not break down in commercial facilities.
