Category overview

Five compostable shopping-bag formats cover common sourcing briefs: a 12 lb t-shirt bag, handled retail formats, products with listed third-party certification claims, reusable-style constructions and a home-compostable option. Certification coverage varies by SKU, construction and certificate scope — request the current file before approving artwork or claims.

For regulated markets, start with the actual bag use and jurisdiction. California SB 1053 changed point-of-sale carryout-bag rules from 1 January 2026, so compostable material alone does not establish eligibility. Custom options include film gauge, colour, print and private-label packaging subject to technical review.

Scope note: portfolio details are starting points, not a blanket certificate claim. Confirm the current certificate, formulation, finished-pack components and validity in the signed order specification.
