FAQs

Are these liners truly compostable?

Yes, they are certified to BS EN 13432 standards, meaning they are suitable for both industrial composting and home composting.

Can I use these for my council food waste bin?

Yes, these liners are compatible with most council food waste collection schemes that accept compostable bags.

How long do the bags last before they start to decompose?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, these bags will remain stable for several months.

Will these fit a non-Urba 10L caddy?

Yes, as long as your caddy is approximately 10 litres, the 42 x 40cm dimensions should provide a secure fit.

Why does the bag feel thin?

The 16-micron thickness is intentionally designed to be thin enough to decompose rapidly while remaining strong enough for standard daily food waste disposal.

Troubleshooting

Liner tearing during removal

Ensure the caddy is not overfilled and that the liner is not stuck to the sides due to trapped moisture.

Bag leaking at the bottom

Double-check that you are not disposing of very hot waste, and try adding a small amount of newspaper or absorbent paper at the bottom to soak up excess fluids.

Bag decomposing too quickly

Reduce the time between bin changes to 1-2 days and ensure the caddy is kept in a cool, dry area of the kitchen.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully biodegradable and compostable material
  • Compatible with major council food waste collection programs
  • Gusseted base prevents leaks and bag breakage
  • Large roll count provides excellent value for frequent users

Cons

  • Material may weaken if exposed to excessive moisture for too long
  • Not suitable for hot food waste
  • Limited shelf life if stored in direct sunlight or humid areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the liner is straightforward: simply detach one bag from the roll and line your caddy, ensuring the gusseted base is fully expanded to maximize volume.

Compatibility:

These liners are designed to fit most 10-litre food waste caddies. Always verify your bin dimensions against the 42 x 40cm flat size if you are using a non-standard or bespoke caddy shape.

Care Instructions:

  • Cooling: Always allow cooked food waste to reach room temperature before disposal.
  • Storage: Keep unused rolls in a cool, dry environment. Avoid areas with high humidity or direct sunlight, as UV rays and moisture will begin to degrade the starch-based materials prematurely.
