Repell-Em Eco Smartbags 13 Gallon Trash Bags

Repell-Em bags are a green or red, translucent color. The color doesn't attract bugs to the bags and the scent repels them if they are close. It’s also important to keep in mind that most bags on the market today are made to be extremely thin so consumers get more bags for their buck. Unfortunately these cheap bags are so poorly made that they usually rip and break apart easily. That's why Repell-Em garbage bags are 2-3 times thicker and stronger than those supermarket bags.

To achieve environmental friendliness, Repell-Em bags are made of 100% natural, organic ingredients that were found to repel many insects and animals, and biodegrade the plastic 100% in a short time. There are many companies that claim their products are bio-degradable, but in reality, their products are merely degrading into smaller pieces of plastic.

Repell-em products, once placed in a typical landfill or thrown in your backyard compost bin, will biodegrade 100% into soil in 1 to 7 years depending on environmental conditions. All the other "so called" biodegradable products produced using corn-based resin, starch additives, and oxo-based additives, all take 30-50 years or more to fully biodegrade or remain for many more years! They function poorly when exposed to heat, light, or moisture, and really do not stand up.
