A good rule of thumb is that truly compostable bags are almost completely useless as bags in the real world. They're just barely good enough to carry the scraps from the kitchen to the compost bin but they won't work as a liner for more than a few hours in the presence of moisture.
- jefftk 4y agoThe normal way people solve this is with materials that require a small amount of heat to break down in addition to moisture. Industrial composting facilities run at 120-140F. But yes, these don't break down with home composting which is almost always much lower temperature.
