A package from HoldOn Bags containing a box of each of their products.

What Products Do They Offer?

  • Zip Seal Sandwich Bags

  • Gallon Zip Seal Storage Bags

  • 13 Gallon Drawstring Trash Bags

What are They Made of?

  • Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)

  • Polyactic Acid (PLA)

Environmental Impact

A plastic bag can take 1000 years to decompose in the landfill. In that process, toxic gases are emitted and microplastics are left behind. Microplastics can be found in fishes that eventually go up the food chain.

HoldOn bags break down completely within several weeks. They don’t emit any toxic gases.

Review

The shipping box the products came in was recycled and plastic-free. The graphic design and labeling of each product are simple yet fun.

When I opened each packaging, I could immediately tell that the products are plant-based. They didn’t feel like plastic at all but they feel very sturdy.

I’ve used all the products and I absolutely love them all. I’ve packed sandwiches, fruits, and nuts using the sandwich zip bags. I have a home vegetable garden bed and I’ve used the gallon zip seal bag to freeze some vegetables. The small space trash bag is perfect for my home office trash bin. The drawstring bag is surprisingly very strong, and I love the fact that when it goes to the landfill, it will break down completely within several weeks.

The bags held up really well and there were no leaks. I would say they are just as good as the plastic (bad for the environment) counterpart.

If you’re ready for an eco-friendly swap and live a more sustainable life, go to the HoldOn website, use my code CHARCADOES to purchase your Household Staples set and get a free pack of sandwich bags.
