Anyone ever see or use these before? It looks good, but I wonder if it really is.

Well if it is true, it is a good step in the right direction.

At a trade show, I saw an australian company that made box inserts out of the same 'cornstarch plastic'. Looks and feels just like semi-firm plastic but degrades in water, right in front of your eyes. I talked to the sales guy and he said they were having trouble selling it as manufacturers weren't interested. I guess thats where consumers need to make their feelings known...

That looks cool, it's good to know that the bag'll degrade with 45 days, as they say. I use biodegradable bin liners, but I think they take longer to degrade (need to be put to the ground first, I believe, and take more than 2 months), and I don't think they're compostable in that sense. Those biobags seem ideal for composting. Can you get them outside of Canada?

I really wanted to get some of these but why so $$? 5 bags for $8?

The price will go down once many are more are purchased. They gotta make a profit to stay in business. Once a big demand is made then more will be produced bringing the per-unit price down.
