Compostable food vacuum bags and rolls

Compostable food vacuum bags and rolls have come a long way in the last few years and still have a long way to go. They are gathering more and more popularity now that the population is becoming more conscious of the waist going into land fills. So, all though they are available as a viable option, there price is still very much up there. They are currently about 2 - 3 times the cost of a normal vacuum sealer bag. They also are working on refining the manufacturing of the compostable food vacuum sealer bags and rolls. As demand becomes higher production will go up and the price will come down. I have been using the compostable food vacuum bags and rolls now for about 12 months along side normal vacuum sealer rolls and bags and they do work just as well in all aspects of air removal and sealing. Some smaller food vacuum sealers I have had to hit the seal twice to seal them properly but these are the very cheap vacuum sealers.

What are compostable food vacuum bags and rolls made from.

Compostable food vacuum bags and rolls are made from a product called PBAT. So, the ingredient is PBAT which is polybutylene adipate terephthalate or a fully biodegradable polymer. When it is composted and breaks down it leaves no toxic residue behind. It can be composted at home by cutting it into small pieces and placing in the compost bin which may take 12 months or more. Compostable food vacuum bags and rolls can also be commercially composted at one of the 150 commercially compost facilities around Australia which will take around 3 months to break down.
