Sustainable solutions for municipalities
Municipalities play a key role in creating a circular economy. By introducing certified compostable bags, cities can make it easier for residents to sort food waste, improve the quality of organic material, and reduce contamination. This helps turn everyday habits into valuable compost or biogas.
When switching to Biobag, you gain benefits for your municipality and for the environment.
Compostable bags make organic waste collection easier and cleaner, helping municipalities reduce contamination, avoid microplastic pollution, and return valuable resources to the circular economy.

Using compostable food waste bags helps municipalities return valuable resources back to soil.
Distributing compostable bags to residents is more than just handing out a bag; it’s about providing residents with a tool to contribute making a positive environmental impact. What’s great about our bags is that they become part of the waste it carries. This allows to recover the valuable resources within the organic waste by converting it into biogas or nutritious compost to grow new crops in.
Biogas production contributes to renewable energy generation, while compost enriches soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and promoting healthier crop growth. Both are obviously great! No matter the destination of organic waste in your municipality, providing residents with compostable bags has proven to make a difference. For instance, a Danish municipality saw the cleanliness of their organic waste jump from 75% to an impressive 97% purity. This shift not only makes composting more effective but also encourages residents to be more mindful of their waste sorting.
Organic waste and left-over foods make up more than 44% of global waste each year, adding up to almost 1 billion tons.
What can you do?
- Show residents the value and effect of sorting & collecting food waste.

A side order of microplastics, anyone?
Since its invention, humankind has produced app. 9 billion tons of conventional plastic. Sadly most of it is still here on Earth.
The importance of good soil health
Much of European farmland is sadly no longer suitable, or even able, to grow crops for human consumption.
Soil Alert
In the EU alone, 60-70% of our farmland is considered to be unhealthy. We need healthy farmland to be able to grow crops, fruits, and vegetables to feed the human population.
Will compostable bioplastic be part of the EU's soil strategy?
Soil underpins our food systems and biodiversity, yet 60–70% in the EU is unhealthy. Each year a billion tons erode, costing agriculture about €1.25 billion.
