ZDF WISO Check: When "biodegradable" garbage bags become a problem

Dear new customers,

Many of you discovered us thanks to the interesting television report on ZDF WISO (starting at minute 36:08) from April 15, 2024. Even though we weren't explicitly mentioned, the report highlighted an important topic that is very close to our hearts at BioGlück. We appreciate your interest and would like to take this opportunity to address the key points of the report and present our solution.



The relevant segment begins at minute 36:08.

The key findings of the WISO report: Not everything labelled "organic" is good for the environment.

The TV report revealed two key problems with the disposal of organic waste that frustrate many consumers:

  1. "Compostable" plastic bags: These bags made of so-called "bioplastic" decompose far too slowly in German composting facilities. They are sorted out as contaminants and incinerated instead of becoming valuable compost. In the worst-case scenario, plastic fragments end up in the compost and thus on our fields.
  2. Conventional paper bags: Many thin paper bags from the supermarket quickly become soggy and tear as soon as they come into contact with moist kitchen waste. The result is a mess in the bin or even in the stairwell.

We founded BioGlück precisely to address these problems. We offer a solution that truly works: sturdy, tear-resistant, and water-resistant paper compostable waste bags.

BioGlück: The reliable and truly sustainable alternative

Our paper waste bags offer you a proven solution for your organic waste disposal. No plastic, no chemical additives – just pure paper fibers that blend seamlessly with your kitchen waste into the composting process.
