Biobags, Saving The Earth One Bag At A Time - Aug 25,2010




The Organic View show

Summary: For dog owners, Biobags have become a household name. Cleaning up after your dog is not only part of your responsibility as a pet owner but is the law. Many people had always felt that by using the plastic shopping bags from the supermarkets, they were simply adding to the landfills. When you think about how many times you have to walk your dog and multiply that by how many dog owners there are just in your own town, the numbers do add up. When I first discovered Biobags, I was at a trade show. Someone approached me asking me if I had a dog and wanted to try a certified biodegradable and compostable bag. I was thrilled to find out that such bags existed! To boot, they even made cat pan liners, compost bin liners as well as a whole slew of biodegradable products. Amazing! After spending some time learning about the company and also looking at the industry as a whole, I soon learned that this technology had taken years to develop. Biobag was in fact, the head of the pack. It wasn't because they held so many patents. It was because Biobag went the distance. Their bags are actually tested after they are produce to verify that they are in fact, certified biodegradable and compostable. This was clearly a company that not only was environmentally responsible but really lives up to its motto of changing the earth, one bag at a time! On this segment of The Organic View, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dave Williams, President of Biogroup USA. This company not only has taken the time to manufacture one of the most important products to help reduce our landfills but has actually helped to educate the public as they work to keep our world a greener place!
