Supplier or Brand for eco friendly gift bags

[KawBaker]

Aloha - my enjoyment of making and giving away my culinary adventures has left me feeling a bit guilt-laden about the use of poly-plastic or CELLO (also plastic) gift bags for my give-aways to friends.

 

Our island has banned the use of grocery plastic bags, most recently styrofoam and soon to be plastic straws, so I am feeling a little guilty buying plastic bags for gifting when other options are available.

 

After a bit of exploration, I realize that there is a lot of false advertising in terms of cellophane (plant-based biodegradable) bags vs poly vs opp vs plastic.  Some companies use Cello or Cellophane in the title or description but are actually plastic.

 

Does anyone have recommendations for a brand or supplier for 5"x9" (130mmX240mm) or near size biodegradable gift bags?  Mahalo, AtHomeMaui

Try Amazon for 5"x 9" paper bags, they also have decorative ones as well

Even the cello made from plants isn't necessarily compost-able.  Do you have commercial composting on the island?  Might be wise to check with them on what materials they can actually compost.  I don't have any recs for you, other than to look for something that specifies compost-able.  Good luck!
