#homecompostable

2025-10-20
DirtBags have launched on Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/forthetrail/dirtbags-reusable-compostable-zip-bags-for-adventures

A project by @ForTheTrail

Your support would mean the world!!!

Do you use single-use energy gels, powder sachets or plastic ziploc bags for your adventures, races, big days out in the mountains and ultra-marathons?

DirtBags are the first, ultralight, reusable and home-compostable zip bags designed to organise and carry your fuel and essential items for long days out on the trail.

I have been working on prototypes to replace single-use energy gels and plastic ziploc bags whilst still giving you the convenience of portion control with gels/powders and the option to carry small essentials, mandatory gear and spare kit in the larger DirtBags.

You use them on an adventure, wash them and then reuse, again and again.

DirtBags have been created to stop a linear waste model, especially when single use plastics are used in sports and hobbies based on nature, this doesn't make sense.

Instead, we should be focusing on circular life cycles and a reduction in the demands on the planet.

One thing we probably don't make enough noise about is #plasticfree. We almost forget that we are.

We've been plastic free since we started 10 years ago - we even used to sew our own hessian bags!

We was plastic free years before the "first plastic free coffee" who even tried to sell to us a couple of times. We ignored them until I eventually put them right which stopped their sales calls.

We use #Natureflex which is #homecompostable. We put it in our worm farm with our other coffee waste.

Natureflex takes 60 days to decompose. Plastic takes 100+ years
