If You Care Bag Trsh 13gal Ktchn Tall Drws

These bags are really sturdy for our kitchen trash, and I love that they're made with so much recycled content. They are costly, but we do not generate that much trash and I'm glad to purchase a product that makes use of post-consumer plastics.As far as trash bags are concerned, it always infuriates me that companies sell so-called "biodegradable" trash bags like that's some kind of sustainable choice, when it absolutely isn't--those bags will get covered in trash and not receive the air and sunlight they need to decompose. By using recycled content, these bags DO support sustainability by supporting the market for recycled plastics. Where trash bags are concerned, it's more eco-conscious to purchase bags that are made from recycled plastic (and, of course, to reduce the amount of trash one throws away in the first place) than to buy bags made of "biodegradable" plastic.

I feel that one time use products should be made with as much recycled material as possible. Made with 85% recycled plastic, this product performs every bit as well all "new" plastic trash bags.

Twice so far these have leaked and I have had brown liquid on my kitchen floor. Granted, I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, so most of my kitchen trash is somewhat liquidy but I don't like having to clean my trash bin twice in one month, yuck. It still smells from the leaking. I'll go back to using Hefty Steel saks for kitchen rubbish and use these for other household purposes. I'm sad because I really wanted to do the most environmentally friendly thing, but not if it means that I have garbage leaks. To be fair though, all other kitchen bags I have ever used have leaked apart from Hefty Steel saks, which are much thicker plastic than most bags. These bags are thick too, but still leaked.

My husband and I LOVE these bags. They're very thick for trash bags and stronger than the more expensive name brand bags we usually purchase. I bought these on a whim because they were on sale (the price seems to fluctuate weekly) and boy was I surprised at the good quality.These fit our kitchen trash can perfectly. We haven't had any problems with rips or leak (like we do with the others we usually buy). They're about 5 times thicker than your average trash bag! The handles are also nice and make it easier to pull them out of the trash can when full.Best of all, they're "green" so we are helping the earth by using them. A definite keeper!

I am greatly satisfied by these bags. They comprise a high percentage of recycled consumer plastic (as opposed to most other brands which use recycled industrial plastic). The bags are quite thick and durable. I have never had an issue with them leaking or breaking, even when the bag is filled quite full with solid and liquid waste. The cost per bag is a bit higher than other recycled bags, but I found that with most recycled plastic bags, the increased friability leads to bag breakage with over-filling. Then, either you under-fill the bags or you double bag; and if you have to do that, the cost difference is obviated.

This is my 2nd box of these bags. I didn't notice a problem with the 1st box I purchased elsewhere. These have a defect. The picture shows the outside of a bag held up to the light. You can clearly see the uneven nature of the material. Near the bottom right is a particularly weak spot in the bag. The bright spot at the top is an actual hole in the bag. I decided to contact the company directly via their web form on 3/3/22. So far I've only gotten an auto reply. I recommend avoiding the purchase of these bags at this time. I will try to provide an update if/when I hear from the company.

The mouth of my 13 gallon trash can is a little too wide for all 4 corners to fit without stretching. For reference, my can's top is wider than the bottom. The bag holds trash fine and has handles, making removal and tying easy. Glad it's 97% recycled.

VERY HAPPY with this product! Was worried after reading other reviews that they were thin and would break easy and had horrible handles but I don't know what the heck others are throwing away but mine have not broke and the handles are great for tying off. I would highly recommend these to anyone that like me isn't throwing out a bag of trash but once a week cause they are pricey but totally worth it to not throw out a full blown plastic trash bag.

Actually the best bin bags I’ve had! Would highly recommend. They’re strong, have handles and are compostable. Perfect.

Although I love this brand and everything they represent, unfortunately these bin liners aren’t that great. They’re fine if you only put a couple of things in them, but for the size bin that they fit, they don’t really fit the job description.

I bought these because the description states that these are...Made from potato starch from non-GMO potatoesBlended with a certified, fully compostable polymerStarch potatoes require no irrigation, only natural rainfallThey are not! They don't contain any potato at all, they are entirely made of polyethylene.
