How long does it take Green Genius food bags to biodegrade?
Microbes that cause biodegradation start to colonize on our bags as soon as they are placed in a microbe‐rich environment, like a landfill. While the actual rate of biodegradation will be determined by the specific conditions found in a landfill, most of our bags (including the zipper and slider closures!) will biodegrade within 2 to 15 years. Warmer, moister landfills will take less time. Cooler, drier landfills will take more time.
