FAQ

Good questions deserve clear answers.

Everything you need to know about Gaia Flex, compostable bags, certifications, and how our products work after use.

Certified, not self-declared

Our claims are backed by independent standards and verification.

Gaia Flex makes certified compostable bags, starting with wet waste, dry waste, and pet care, and growing into a wider range from there.

Same job as a regular plastic bag, except this one actually leaves once it is done.

To use, no. They hold, seal, and carry exactly the same way. The difference shows up after you are done with them.

Regular plastic Can remain for centuries
Gaia Flex Breaks down under composting conditions

These bags are designed to break down completely within 180+ days under composting conditions.

Not exactly. Biodegradable is a broad and loosely used term. Technically, almost anything eventually breaks down.

Compostable is the stricter, certified version. It is tested to fully decompose within a defined timeframe under real composting conditions and independently verified.

It is not a claim we get to make by ourselves.

Not really, and that is true of any compostable product. These bags are certified to break down under composting conditions specifically, not while sitting inside a sealed landfill without enough oxygen or moisture.

If your area has composting or wet waste collection, that is where these bags can actually do their job.

Both. Some of our range, such as pet care bags, is available for individual purchase.

Other product lines are designed more for bulk or business use, including hotels, offices, retail chains, and institutions. Each product page tells you which option applies.

Check our certifications page. Every claim we make is backed by independently verified certification.
