The more detailed answer:
Xybio-Bag products are made from a compostable resin named ecoflex. Which is produced by BASF, an Germany research company dedicated to environmental alternatives to polyethylene-based plastics. Ecoflex is an innovative family of bioplastics that uses substances obtained from plants, such as but not limited to, non-genetically modified corn starch, and biodegradable/compostable polymers obtained both from renewable raw materials and fossil raw materials. BASF’s policy is to acquire and use exclusively natural, non-GM, raw materials (such as starch). Most of our products (3 gallon, 13 gallon, sandwich bags, produce bags and liners) have a non-GMO third party certification.
