There are many random options available on Amazon for compostable or plant-based bags, like [1]. Is there a reason to trust or distrust these small companies? Is there a way to determine whether they are using biopolymers in their plant-based bags, or if its misleading marketing?

- dqv 3y agoWell one label says "HOME OK compost" and then another one says "commercially compostable only" so idk?
- SoftTalker 3y agoProbably related to the heat required to break down the material. Home compost piles are usually pretty small and don’t get too hot. Commercial composting operations are large and do get quite hot.
