Our Compostable Zip Bags work exactly like plastic but vanish like they should. Plant-based materials seal in freshness while breaking down completely in compost, not lingering in landfills for centuries. Because every plastic bag you've ever used is still out there somewhere, slowly breaking into microplastics. Time to close the loop and snack smarter, not harder.
PLA & PBAT - Natural
The compostable film and zip that seals tight, stays leak-proof and breaks down after use.
Soy-based ink - Natural
Lower-tox printing on the pack in place of conventional petroleum inks.
FSC-certified kraft - Recyclable
The responsibly sourced paper box the bags come in.
These zip bags are made from PLA and PBAT, a plant-based compostable bioplastic that breaks down once you are done with it, unlike conventional plastic bags that persist for centuries and shed microplastics along the way. The pack is printed with soy-based ink instead of petroleum inks and comes in an FSC-certified kraft box, so the whole product stays low-tox and responsibly sourced.
It lets you keep food fresh without locking another everyday habit into plastic waste.
Resealable compostable zip bags in your chosen size and pack count.

Heavy duty and far stronger than usual freezer bags. Great for portioning and leftovers.
Love these. No microplastics and I can reuse them. Good for me and good for the planet.
Really thick and they hold up. Rinsed and reused them and they kept their shape. Will rebuy.

Real reviews from people who made the switch
No residue, just clean
No residue on the dishes and they came out nice and clean. Love that they are eco friendly without harsh chemicals, and we wash our kids' plates in here too.
Works on the tough stuff
The enzyme power really works, from food stains to pet odours to set-in stains my regular detergent couldn't handle. Fragrance-free, with no harsh smell.
Clean ingredients you can trust
It does a great job on food residue and even grease, without anything harsh. I like knowing it uses cleaner ingredients.
Made for a low-tox home
Love these. They work great and hold up very well in my low-tox household.
Loved in thousands of homes
I was sceptical at first, but I'm a believer now. My clothes come out clean and fresh every time, even when they're heavily soiled

Compostable Zip Bags FAQs
In industrial composting facilities, they typically break down within 8–12 weeks. In home composting setups, decomposition may take 3–9 months depending on temperature, humidity, and microbial activity.
Press along the seal from end to end using your fingers until you feel it close securely. A gentle tug will confirm it’s fully sealed.
These bags are made from plant-based PLA and PBAT, which decompose fully and leave behind no microplastics, unlike traditional plastic bags that persist in landfills for centuries.
Absolutely. Simply rinse with cool water, let air dry, and reuse as needed. Proper care extends their life across multiple uses.
Yes! The surface is writable, making it easy to label contents or dates. They’re also freezer-safe and suitable for use in the fridge, pantry, or travel bag.

Customers praised these compostable bags as "surprisingly strong" and eco-friendly alternatives to plastic. Many valued the reusability and freezer compatibility. However, some noted the seal can be tricky, with concerns about leak-resistance for liquids and brittleness after long-term freezing. Price was frequently mentioned as high but justified for sustainability.

Couldn’t go wrong
These bags are fantastic. They do everything my old plastic ones used to do but now I don’t feel I am killing the planet each time I use one
These feel so soft, seel well and I liked the compartments they are boxed in. They fit neatly in my draw. Will never go back to plastic zip lock bags again.
Hi Emily, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the compostable zip bags! Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing eco-friendly options. Enjoy organizing your space!
Yeah early days but I like them. Not sure I’ll have a use for all the sizes but can decide on the the most useful when reordering.
Overall I am happy with them. Would recommend
Hi, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you're happy with the set. Feel free to reach out if you need any help choosing the sizes. We appreciate your recommendation!
I won't be buying more of these, they have a smell which transfers to food inside. I am very sensitive to scents and don't like this.
Also I didn't realise you could only store dry ingredients in them, so not as useful as I hoped.
Hi Janet, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the scent issue and the inconvenience regarding storage. We appreciate your insights and will consider them for future improvements. If there's anything else we can do to help, please let us know!
So far so good. I could use half gallon sizes.
Only problem was Amazon delivery-they delivered to one of my neighbors.
Love the fact these are compostable! Just wish the price was good for all as they are quite expensive. Being eco should be accessible to all.
These bags are surprisingly strong and perform well.

I love the fact that it's safe I can now freeze my vegetables over the winter from my garden.
I love the fact that there is absolutely no plastic smell it smells clean 🥰

I love these. So much safer then using hefty, or ziplock. No worries about microplastics. Re wash and re use. Saves money too!

Great bags. Sturdy, thick plastic-like but without the PFAS. Not flimsy at all. They are not clear, a sort of milky color, it’s fine. Would be nice to have a slightly smaller size as well. The zip lock is also hearty, seals easily and opens easily without ripping easily. These are high quality bags that are durable enough to wash and reuse several times! You can write on it easily. I even put cooked broccoli in one of these bags and in the freezer. They kept just fine and didn’t get freezer burn nor taste funky. Worth the price. Will buy again!

We didn't burn him! Translate all reviews to English
It says “Leak Resistant” not “Leak Proof”. Resistant and proof are 2 different things. I love this product and don’t have issues with it.
These are excellent freezer bags. Good to move away from plastic.

These work! I reuse them all the time. Better than plastic. They’re the side of large sandwich bags. I’ll buy again.

Love them
Good selection of bags, seal is a bit fiddly but works ok. I was surprised to find that they are all in the one box with tear out "windows" to access the bags - this works ok once I rearranged the drawer to accommodate a largish box that needs to be flat
Good quality , handy reusable bags
