Differentiation Strategy

To achieve a value price point, this bag uses a more common starch-based bioplastic blend rather than the proprietary Mater-Bi. It simplifies the certifications to only the most recognized one in North America (BPI), reducing associated costs. The design is basic, without features like the star seal, and the color is a standard opaque to potentially lower manufacturing costs.

Success Replication

This product retains the core functionality of the BioBag by being a fully compostable alternative to traditional plastic bags for food scrap collection. It meets the essential BPI certification for commercial composting, assuring customers of its environmental claims. The availability in common kitchen sizes (3 and 13 gallons) also mirrors the convenience of the reference product.
