Kitchen Garbage Inwaysin Recycle Biodegradable Reviews Summary

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "These bags are awesome for recycling our kitchen scraps to the compost bin."
• "They still get trashed with the regular garbage, but they’ll biodegrade."
• "I am committed to do my part. I have not used any plastic bags for the past 10 years now."
• "They are supposed to be biodegradable, which is positive for the environment."
• "I like that using these is so much better for the environment."
• "All in all a great value and a good product that is recyclable in our area along with the wet garbage in the garden bins."
• "The main reason for using them is no more plastic bags from this house going to the landfill every week."

Cons:

• "These are not 'compostable' in that they dissolve when wet."
• "No point in trying to be better for the environment if the bags do not hold up or have to be 'double bagged'."
• "Yes this is a bag that might break down easier than other plastics, but it is still a type of plastic and if you do some digging you can find out it’s not as healthy for the earth as they claim."
• "These bags - they haven’t decomposed at all! It feels like they are just regular plastic bags in green color."
• "This bad is nothing like those. You can tell when a bag is made from corn. This is nothing like that. Greenwashing…"
• "I did not buy this because Amazon cannot allow these to be shipped to California. It turns out that they are not certified according to state regulations which are very strict."
• "These are the most horrible trash bags that I’ve bought. It was actually false advertising saying that they were strong bags and they are so thin and flimsy. They tear so easily."

Strength and Durability

Pros:

• "These are really good trash bags for small trash bins."
• "Just the right sized for small bathroom trash can and for cleaning the litter box or for bagging spoiled food before putting it in the trash."
• "I have been using them for years. Very sturdy and even good for the environment."
• "They are the sturdiest enviro friendly product I have found."
• "These bags fit my 4 gallon kitchen compost bin well and appear to be quite sturdy on first use."
• "I've been using these bags for used cat litter. They are a good size and strong enough to get them to the trash can."
• "These are well made also with good closed end, durable."

Cons:

• "We have to double or triple bag all of the trash bags as about 1 in 2 to 1 in 3 have holes in them."
• "Seller says bags are 'extra strong', but when I lifted bag from kitchen trash can the bag broke, spilling garbage on the floor."
• "About half of the bags don't tear off the roll at all. The perforations aren't deep enough so sometimes you pull too hard and tear a hole in the bottom of the next bag."
• "These bags suck!!! I cant even open a single bad without them ripping."
• "Anything that has even the hardest 'edge' will puncture these bags."
• "They are VERY THIN and will not hold much weight at all."
• "I gave this item 3 stars because the size is large, but the quality is poor. I purchased to use with cat litter removal; however, it rips every time so it defeats the purpose."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "This bag easily fits in my under-desk 5 gallon trash can."
• "These trash bags are a prefect size for a bathroom or bedroom trash can and being biodegradable is a plus for the environment."
• "I ordered the 1.6 gallon size to replace some 1.2 gallon bags that were just a bit too snug for my countertop compost bin."
• "These are labeled as biodegradable. They’re large for small trash cans which I like because you can fit more in them and even consolidate other trash bins into one."
• "Bought a 4 gallon trash can and bought different liners that said they were for a 4 gallon trash can but did not fit! THESE FIT PERFECTLY!!!"
• "These are great for the smaller bins I needed to line. Very sturdy and well worth it."
• "I like these green 4-6 gallon trash bags. They are bigger than many other brands, which means they don't slip back inside the waste basket, and they are easier to grab when removing them from the trash container."

Cons:

• "I ordered the 1.6 gallon size to replace some 1.2 gallon bags that were just a bit too snug for my countertop compost bin. When they arrived they were actually about 1/3 SMALLER."
• "I have a 5.2-gallon trash can. The listing states 4-6 gallons, but these are not nearly large enough for our can."
• "It’s small. Barely fits your standard kitchen plastic waste pail."
• "I have a 5 gallon trash bin and these bags do not fit over the lip of the bin. Radius of the bag is too small."
• "The bags I received are not easy to use, its hard to find the tear line and the tear line does not work easily, switching back to my previous bags, anybody want these 200 bags."
• "I am upset with my order not because of the quality or the biodegradable bags. However, the miss information on the cost per unit is incorrect. It is actually 15 cents per unit cost not .06 I own a cleaning company and this may not seem like a large amount. However, it does add up."
• "These bags are see thru., lite weight, fit perfectly in small waste baskets and there’s a bazillion of them so you won’t run out for a very long time. Plus— can’t beat the price😀"

Ease of Use

Pros:

• "They're super easy to open."
• "They open easily. The connecting seam to others is easily separated compared to others that just rip the bags."
• "Love that they are economical! These are on subscription!"
• "I have arthritis in my hands and didn’t have any problems tearing them apart."
• "These bags are great, biodegradable, and more affordable than bags at store."
• "Sure, they cost more but well worth it. Also, one of the few bags of any kind that are easy to tear off the roll and open."
• "When I separate them, the bags tear on the perferation line every time - no accidentally torn / wasted bags."

Cons:

• "About half of the bags don't tear off the roll at all. The perforations aren't deep enough so sometimes you pull too hard and tear a hole in the bottom of the next bag."
• "The perforation between bags on the roll is difficult to tear."
• "They rip no matter how gently you try to open them up."
• "The round, smooth interior ALSO rips the bags in half."
• "These bags are very hard to separate on perforations. I don't know why this seems to be a big problem on trash bags on a roll but it is very annoying."
• "When I first started using the bags, I had a hard time tearing them off."
• "It was difficult to tear the bag off the roll."
