Cassava Bags

Cassava Bags: A Better Alternative to Plastic 

Every bag we use has an impact on the environment. Traditional plastic bags can remain in nature for hundreds of years, breaking down into microplastics that pollute our soil, rivers, and oceans. Paper bags may seem like a better choice, but they often tear easily and require significant natural resources to produce.

Cassava bags offer a better way forward.

Made from renewable plant-based materials, cassava bags provide the strength and convenience of conventional plastic bags while helping reduce long-term plastic pollution. Whether you're carrying groceries, takeout meals, retail purchases, or gifts, you don't have to choose between durability and sustainability.

Why Choose Cassava Bags?

🌱 Plastic-Free & Plant-Based

Our cassava bags are made from 75% cassava starch and 25% vegetable oils, with 0% petroleum-based plastic. Because they contain no conventional plastic, they do not contribute to microplastic pollution in the same way traditional plastic bags do.

💪 Strong Enough for Everyday Use

Eco-friendly shouldn't mean fragile. Cassava bags are designed for everyday life and can carry up to 3 kg, making them suitable for groceries, takeout, retail shopping, events, and daily errands.

♻️ Home Compostable

Unlike conventional plastic bags that can persist in the environment for decades or centuries, cassava bags naturally break down under suitable composting conditions in approximately 3 to 6 months, leaving no toxic plastic residue behind.

💧 Water-Resistant During Normal Use

Cassava bags are designed to withstand humidity, cold items, and light rain during everyday use. At the end of their useful life, they can break down in composting conditions or dissolve in hot water, reducing long-term environmental impact.
