While BioBags are most popularly used for the convenient, eco-friendly storage of food scraps to be composted, the wildly useful 3 gallon size finds itself in many other locations! But before we highlight a few of the unintended but just as perfect uses for 3 gallon BioBags, let’s first look at what makes them different from your average bag, and compost-perfect.

Any composter understands that there are downsides to composting. Usually these aren’t nearly negative enough to stop us from composting of course, but complaining about them from time to time doesn’t make us bad keepers of the planet – it’s human! One of these downsides is dealing with the compost bucket, which can get downright gross. By its very nature a compost bucket isn’t going to be pretty, but there is something simple you can do to minimize the muck – line it with a 3 gallon BioBag.

By allowing heat and moisture to break out of the bag, breathable BioBags cut down on bacterial build-up and its resultant odor. For the smartest setup possible, use your BioBags with their complementary Max Air buckets.

So – using BioBags is a simple way to make composting more rewarding than rancid. But where else can they be used? We’re glad you asked! A 3 gallon BioBag can keep fruits and veggies fresher in the refrigerator, and let bathroom garbage ‘breathe’ so it can be changed less often without compromising on stink. These bags are also great for protecting everything in your gym bag from your potentially dirty sneakers. Just like any floor, the gym floor is holding its fair share of bacteria, which your sneakers inevitably pick up. Simply toss them in a 3 gallon BioBag inside your gym bag and they’ll be less likely to share the germs with everything else inside!
