TUV Austria is the most intensive certifying body for compostable goods. With the exception of our Tall Kitchen bag, HoldOn bags are TUV Certified home compostable. This means that they have passed the most stringent tests for at-home composting and have been proven to break down effectively in a home compost in a timely manner. 

BPI Certification signifies that our products can be effectively composted in a commercial composting facility. This rigorous testing ensures that HoldOn bags biodegrade without leaving behind synthetic residue.

In a nutshell, HoldOn bags have been rigorously tested and can be composted right in your backyard (with the exception of our Tall Kitchen bag) or an industrial facility.

We use nontoxic, plant-based and compostable materials to create our strong and sustainable bags. Here’s a look at what’s inside:
