As food waste collections become ever more popular, we recognise the need to provide end users, councils and waste management companies with an alternative to standard plastic refuse sacks.
Our range of
compostable caddy & bin liners which can support food waste management strategies.
Manufactured from EcopondĀ® biodegradable plastic, using starch and lactide-based derivatives of plant sources, these compostable bags are fully compliant with the European composting standard, which requires more than 90% of the plastic mass to convert into biomass, CO2 and water, with no harmful residue.
The definition of compostable plastic is governed by UK and European standard BS EN13432, which ensures that the composting process is completed within acceptable parameters.
These parameters ensure that
the products being tested can be converted into water, CO2, and biomass under normal composting conditions
and at a rate comparable to that of cellulose.
