What makes potato starch strong?
Starch is a mixture of a linear (amylose) and a branched (amylopectin) polymer of glucose. Potato starch has a higher percentage of amylopectin than either corn or wheat starch. The structural integrity of starch is due to amyulopectin, so this helps make If You Care Food Waste Bags are stronger than bags made from corn starch.

Any other reasons for potato starch?
The potato starch used to make If You Care Food Waste Bags comes from starch potatoes, which are not grown for food but only for starch production. These potatoes are too high in starch to be good for food. Therefore there is no diversion from food supplies. To produce the same amount of starch from these potatoes as from corn requires 40% less land. These potatoes require no irrigation and need only normal rainfall. Corn requires much more water.

Each bag measures approximately 43cm x 39cm x 16cm. 3 Gallon (11.4 Litre) Capacity.
