Matter, a leader in certified compostable single-use products, announced that their Storage Bags are now certified home compostable. This milestone joins a growing suite of Matter products that are certified for home and industrial composting, giving consumers practical, low-waste options for everyday food storage and prep.

Why it matters

Conventional plastic storage bags are typically made from fossil-fuel-derived polymers that can persist in the environment. Matter's plant-based formulations are designed to biodegrade under appropriate composting conditions, offering an alternative that supports more sustainable disposal and reduces dependence on single-use plastics.

The details

Matter Storage Bags are available in snack, sandwich, quart and gallon sizes and can be purchased separately or in a convenient variety pack. In addition to storage bags, Matter's home-compostable lineup includes storage containers, trash bags, plates, and bowls. Each product is independently tested and certified for home composting where indicated. Matter engineered these products to perform like conventional storage solutions while offering a responsible end-of-life option through home compostability.
