PRAKRUTIKGarbage Bags Biodegradable For Kitchen,Office,Large Size 24 Inchx32 Inch, 90 Bag, Plastic, Black)

- I bought these bags because it says Biodegradable but I am not going to buy this again for sure90% bags are faulty1. Open from both sides2. Stiching is at wrong place3. We can not open few bags due to wrong stitching

These garbage bags are not BIOdegradible, but Oxo-biodegradible, which means a regular plastic is mixed with an additive that breaks down this plastic into tiny pieces (so called micro-plastics) making it even harder to clean up from the environment. The product title in this page says nothing about Oxo-biodegrabible, MISLEADING the consumers!

Maharashtra state has issued a plastic ban and I was looking out for options particularly for my wet dustbin, when I came across this product.Pros-1. As claimed it seems to have all the credentials to couch for its biodegradability! When I enquired with the seller on these credentials I was supplied the below info which seems quite impressive-(A). CIPET , Chennai (Report No 54563, 22-08-2017)(B). Symphony Environmental Product Testing Laboratory, UK (Report No 6284, 01-09-2015)(C). EnerPlastics Advance Laboratory, UAE (EPAL3622017, 08-11-2017)2. Oxo bio-degradable plastic is better than compostable plastic. 'Compostable Garbage Bags' which degrade only in Industrial / Home Composting Environment. On the contrary these 'Oxo Biodegradable Garbage Bags' degrade in open Landfill / littering condition which is a majority case in India.3. Biodegradable Bags are acceptable inline to Maharashtra Non-Biodegradable Garbage (Control) Act, 2006 clause 2 (h) and also have been exempted from ban vid GR Plastic-2018 C.R. No.24 TC-4 , Clause 3 (3) (ii) - so this product is definetely a blessing for all who stay in Maharashtra!4. Overall I loved the lightning response of the seller on such queries of compliance5. Provides an alternative to harmful plastic which is banned here - it's a saviour!6. Length of the bag seems OK but I could have liked, if there was a size bigger available, but they dont have one!7. Easily rolled so convenient to use. Comes with a carton box which doubles up as a storage box!Cons-1. It feels quite thin by the feel of it. Makes you wonder if it can take the load of wet garbage and not leak out. When I laid it on the floor the thinness was such that the static generated caused it to stick to the floor- see pic2. All the logos on the plastic about compliance is OK - see pic, but for one, it has Gandhi's spectacles with the title of swach bharat! Not sure if it's ok to have it on a garbage bag!Update post 1 month of use-1. Strength is undeniable. Holds wet and dry garbage. No leakages.2. Can carry wet garbage in the bag, from my dry balcony (where my dustbin is) right to the main door without any tearing, seeping or leakage. Fit for purpose !Update post 2 months of use-1. As you reach the flag end of the plastic roll, we realized that there are no perforations and the roll is open from both ends. Big question mark on quality - HENCE DROPPING OVERALL RATING TO 3 STAR from 4!

Took one garbage bag and while you tear it from the roll both sides are open??!!. Same for another one. Never heard of two sides open in a garbage bag. Now to save the roll you need to close one side with a stapler or a candle heat. Please don’t buy this and waste time sealing one side.

I love the idea of biodegradable and thats first point in it's favor .overall a descent quality however not too much sturdy so you have to be a bit careful. Actually if you tear it at the line it may go off the line and in turn you may end up tearing the bag itself so be a bit careful.Also the thread to tie up bag is difficult to break and you may need scissors/knife to cut it.

The product details show the dimensions of the garbage bag as 19"x22" whereas the actual size is 17.5"x21 as you may see from the pictures sent. Earlier also when I bought small size garbage bag from the same dealer the size was not according to specification. when you tear the individual bag it is not uniformly tearing but it becomes very messy.

Excellent product, eco-friendly and good price. Excellent delivery too! :)However, size is too small and amazon refuses to exchange still packed bags for bigger size.But they can be useful if bin size is smaller.

The media could not be loaded.  We brought this earlier and it was good, this one seems completely defective. Every bag is tearing off and is not usable. We stopped after pulling 2 and decided to return it for good.
