Why are compostable bags more expensive than plastic bags?

Raw Materials: The materials used to make compostable bags, such as plant-based polymers like cornstarch, are generally more expensive than the petroleum-based polymers used in traditional plastic bags.

Production Costs: The manufacturing process for compostable bags may be more complex and require specialized equipment, driving up production costs compared to conventional plastic bag production lines.

Certifications and Standards: Compostable bags need to meet certain standards and certifications to ensure they break down properly in composting facilities. Commonly see is TUV, BPI, Seedling, AS5810 and AS4736 etc. Obtaining and maintaining these certifications can add to the overall cost.

Environmental Impact: While compostable bags offer environmental benefits over plastic bags by breaking down into non-toxic components, their production and disposal processes may still have environmental impacts that contribute to their cost.
