Compostable food bags
Plant-based storage bags used in place of plastic zip bags
Bags made from plant starch rather than polyethylene, sold for food storage and freezing. They cost more than the plastic version and tear more easily. The reason to switch is cutting the plastic that sits against food, which matters most for anything warm or fatty.
