Our plastic bags and cardboard boxes are manufactured 100% in New Jersey, and assembled and distributed 100% in New Jersey by Veterans and People with Disabilities.

Fast Bags Corp, the owner of BagUps, will be offering additional products in the near future that are also biodegradable, made in the USA, assembled by veterans and people with disabilities, available for subscription, and may use our dispensing system when it adds convenience for our customers.

In the works:
• Doggy poop bags
• Kitty litter box liners
• More bag sizes - smaller and commercial size bags

• Table cloths
• Drop cloths

• and more!

We have our 6 components:

• 100% Made and Assembled in America

• ASTM 6954-18 Biodegradable

• Patented Dispensing System

• Packaged and Assembled By Veterans and People With Disabilities

• Veteran Owned and Operated

• Subscription Delivery Available

Most other trash bag product companies have at most 2 of these components. Our subscription model also allows customers to get new bags right in their mailbox just in time before they run out.  So they never run out of trash bags in the home or the trash can.  As far as we know, no one else has that.

No we do not have drawstring bags. One reason we do not have draw strings is because that would not allow the bags to have a continuous flow from one bag to the next as you pull up a full bag and the next bag comes up due to the dispensing system. Draw string bags are made for individual bags.

Some people ask about wire ties as another option but we have not been able to find biodegradable ties so decided not to include them in our biodegradablebags.

Our solution is to make a longer bag with a large overhang that makes it easy to take the corners of the bags and tie them into a knot. This allows us to keep our bags 100% biodegradable and in our dispensing system.

Our bags are unscented. No reason to make our landfills smell like lavender.

BagUps uses an environmentally friendly ASTM D6954-18 certified Oxo-Biodegradable bag and recyclable cardboard box which is environmentally responsible and does not pollute the environment.

Unlike traditional garbage bags that will pollute landfills for centuries, BagUps Oxo-Biodegradable bags break down in approximate 24-36 months depending on conditions.

Are we stopping there?  Heck no!  We are also keeping up with the latest cutting edge processes and innovations and working hard on transitioning our bags to the newest 'Made From Stone' technology.

Microplastics is a difficult term to define and many governing bodies have different definitions.

The most succinct definition comes from the EU, where they define microplastics as, "plastic that  breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces without the goal of changing their chemical structure."

When we state that our products break down into crystals, what we are saying is that we are reducing the molecular weight (MW) of the product by oxidizing the carbon chains that make up plastic, into shorter carbon chains.  By doing this, the MW comes down from, an average, of 125,000 Daltons to below 5,000 Daltons.  When a piece of matter is under 10,000 Daltons, it is passable through the cell wall of a microorganism, which makes it digestible and biodegradable.  Crystals may not be the perfect term to encapsulate all that, so we will work on coming up with a better term that conveys everything quickly to a reader.  

The goal of our biodegradable bags is to make sure plastic has an insurance policy against it ending up in the wrong place and causing harm, especially in the environment.  Our customers understand this desire to protect, which is why we've seen such success with these particular products.  We aren't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, so I'll try to be clear about what our goals are with this bag.  

Our bags are completely recyclable, which is great, except for the fact that plastic film is widely under recycled, and trash bags even less so.  A trash bag that ends up in the landfill is also a good thing.  This is the destination we expect our trash to go to and for it to be completely contained without getting out into the environment.  The issue we as a society have is when plastic gets into the environment.  That's where our biodegradable "insurance policy" sets up apart from other bags out there.  I can't speak to other biodegradable technologies, all I can do is speak about our own, but when a piece of plastic from our products makes it into the environment, we have independent, third party, ISO 170255 accredited laboratory testing that says it will fully biodegrade in less than 3 years.  Comparing that to a normal product that doesn't contain the technology we use, it will take upwards of 50 -1000 years.

I'm not saying that our products are the end all, be all goal.  But it's a step in the correct direction.  We at BagUps are constantly looking for new ways to improve our products, and we have some exciting products in the development pipeline that we can't wait to share with you.  But right now, this is the best thing we can offer for the market that also truly helps the environment when a product of ours is irresponsibly disposed of.

Our regular 13 and 30- gallon bags are biodegradable, not compostable.  Compostable bags break down too fast sometimes in the trash can when exposed to hot wet trash like coffee grinds, soups, etc.

Our new Doggie Poop-Ups are compostable under certain composting environments.  You can read and learn more about those conditions HERE

No we do not have drawstring bags.  One reason we do not have draw 

BagUps founder, Air Force Capt. Jack Licata while serving full time had office duty once a month and that included emptying trash cans.

He kept thinking, 'Why are the replacement bags not easily accessible?",  "Why does this have to be so messy?", and thought all these plastic bags certainly aren’t doing our environment any favors. He wondered why no one ever thought of a tissue box for trash bags?

Instead of looking in your kitchen cabinet for the next bag, you just pull one out and the next one pops up ready to use. And he thought, why not make them eco-friendly at the same time.

Our mission is to make a difference one bag at a time.

That means:

                    - use the most environmentally friendly bag we can source domestically

                    - make a difference for the disabled community

                    - reduce our carbon footprint

                    - make it easier on the persons who's job it is to change the trash

                    - make our products 100% in the USA

We only sell online for several reasons.

The cost is lower without a store markup and in fact we actually reduce the carbon footprint in a few ways.

Our products:

  ⦁ are generally delivered by USPS and are they coming to your house already

  ⦁ do not need to be trucked from our manufacturer to multiple warehouses

  ⦁ do not need to be trucked from warehouses to multiple stores

  ⦁ are delivered directly to your house

This means there is a minimal amount traveling by you and trucks to and from multiple locations. All that traveling adds up and by us selling direct reduces all those extra trips when getting our bags to you.

We also reduce waste by eliminating extra packaging some retailer need and the only thing you get extra is a cardboard box or USPS mailer the bags are shipped in and both are recyclable.

So we are actually reducing the carbon footprint in all our processing.

We have never paid to advertise on any TV channel/show, print or online magazine, or newspaper.

Several networks and shows have found our company and thought our mission and product was worth presenting to their viewers.

These include MSNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, CT2, LA2, Fox, etc.

We will gladly go on any network, show, or outlet that wishes to help us promote our mission of saving the environment and to employ Veterans and People With Disabilities.
