Green Genius Biodegradable Kitchen Bags




Green Genius has designed a biodegradable kitchen bag; so that consumers can have a strong plastic bag that is guaranteed to breakdown in a landfill leaving no trace of plastic behind. The solution they found was a plastic bag that is completely edible by microbes.

How the Green Genius Biodegradable Bags work:

Step One: They combine plastic with a proprietary additive called EcoPure that bonds organic “nutrients” to the plastic’s molecular structure. The addition of this additive allows the plastic to be eaten by microbes, making the whole bag biodegradable.


Step Two: Whenever a Green Genius plastic bag is disposed of in a microbe-rich environment like a landfill, the microbes are attracted to the embedded “nutrients” in the plastic.



Step Three: Microbes feed on the nutrients, which actually converts the plastic into simpler organic matter like sugars, fatty acids and amino acids.


Step Four: The bag is now entirely edible by microbes, which attracts even more microbes, and a feast ensues!

Step Five: Microbes continue to feed until only the simplest organic matter remains — water, bio-gas (carbon dioxide and methane) and bio-mass (humus).

*The drawstrings are also made from 40% recycled content and are as durable as regular drawstrings.*

Green Genius biodegradable kitchen bags are available through this site on Amazon. Give them a try and see for yourself what these bags can do to help make your home a green home.
