If thrown in compost, how long until the bag dissolves?

Cleaning up from juicing doesn't have to be a hassle. With this Breville 30 Pack of Clean & Green Juicer Bags, clean up is quick and simple. Designed to fit easily into the external pulp bins of Breville juicers, these bags catch all of your pulp, and since they're made from 100% compostable, biodegradeable GMO free corn starch, you can just toss the whole bag into your compost bin. The bags will naturally biodegrade in just 3 months. Each bag holds 6 liters.

Cold temperature will limit microbial activity that will break down your raw materials (this is the very reason why humans invented refrigeration so that food wouldnt spoil so fast), but compost will still happen.. just in a much slower phase. In my own experience, it took me about 3 and a half months to make a useable compost with core temperature reaching 120 F. I could not wait intil spring comes because the process will be much faster. Always remember that microbial activity will peak in warm and moist environment :)

There are no disposal directions on the bag. The pellets disintegrate when wet but I do not flush them.

Even if it goes to a landfill, it will degrade. Compostable just means it rots quickly. If you have a composting facility where the result of that rot is actually used, that is best, but if it goes to the landfill, it should not still be around in 100 years.

Remove the Geobin and set it up again next to where it is now . Put the top of the pile into the now empty bin and the bottom is the compost you can use .

Kitchen waste to grass clippings, buy a few bags of compost maker. Compost in 4 to 8 weeks.

Pasta cooked- why would u compost raw? Unless you spilled it all over your floor- and then swept it up- you could also compost this for about many weeks longer!! Eggs- eithet

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

No, the gel dissolves into the soil. You slit open the plastic packaging to let the gel out into the soil.

It depends on how successful you are, keeping the right consistency and components. Odor happens when the balance is off; it can take a few days to correct. It's bound to happen eventually. Even when all is good, there is an earthy smell of the compost when you open it. It will drip compost liquid 'tea' too. Mine is outside.

It depends on the material used, how large the pieces are, and so forth. I can get compost out of my Lifetime tumbler in about three to four weeks, but I use a shredder and I prop the lid up a few inches with sticks to improve aeration. Fourteen to twenty-one days could be possible with the right material and ideal moisture condtions. I usually cycle my batches every five or six weeks when I'm keeping up with it.

I use a 2.6 gallon compostable Glad bag, which is their smallest; there is about a 5 inch overhang, but it works. The interior of the bin is perfectly smooth and lid is easy to remove for cleaning. I find that there is a small amount of leakage after a week of filling the bin--either the bags are semi-permeable or they are beginning to compost. I take the bin out to my compost heap and dump the bag and liquid, then I rinse and dry the bin. A small inconvenience.

Since the area I live gets a lot of rainfall, the compost settles fast and gets heavy, I usually pick up by hand or with a craw the compost until it is about half full, then I pick up the bin. I move the bin over and refill with compost. Since most of my compost is oak leaves, it takes quite a while for my compost to be completed. I have 2 of these bins. When the compost was completed (took almost 8 months), I had 1/3 of my garden area filled with compost. I threw a potato that was turning green into the compost and within 4 days, I had it sprouting!

On the box (packaging) it says that the bags "dissolve in as little as 24 months!" which means that they are biodegradable, and break down pretty quickly. Hope that helps. :-)

For some context, in big question is temperature. It sounds like these bags require a hot pile to degrade. A "hot" compost pile (>160F) requires approx a cubic yard of material plus frequent turning or good air suplly, to get that hot. That's more material (and work!) than most people / households have available.

They die after being in the bag for a while but I don't know how long. When I would go to empty the bag, they would usually be mostly dead.

this is what I have used since I bought the compost pail 2 yrs ago.I do wash them 1 x a week and then every 2 months I put new ones in . I have no odor at all . the pail sits on my counter and I use the bag liners that decompose naturally .
