Product Information
Full details
These 7-litre compostable liners are designed for environmentally conscious households and offices looking to manage food waste efficiently using standard kitchen caddies. They offer the significant benefit of being fully EN13432 certified, meaning they break down safely in industrial and home composting environments without leaving harmful residues. One important caveat is that while these bags are highly durable for organic waste, they should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their structural integrity, as heat and moisture can begin the composting process prematurely.

FAQs
Are these bags truly home compostable?
Yes, they are EN13432 compliant, which covers both industrial and home composting requirements.
How long will these bags last in storage?
It is recommended to use the bags within 12 months of purchase to ensure the integrity of the compostable material.
Can I use these for standard plastic recycling?
No. These bags are made from plant-based materials and should not be placed in plastic recycling streams. They belong in your organic waste or compost bin.
Do these bags have a scent?
The bags are scent-free, relying on their physical structure to contain the odors of the organic waste inside.
Are they sturdy enough for liquid-heavy scraps?
They are designed for standard kitchen waste, but it is best to drain excess liquid from food scraps before putting them in the bag to prevent premature degradation.
Troubleshooting
Bag tearing when lifted
Ensure you are not overloading the bag with excessively wet or heavy waste, and dispose of the bag before it exceeds its weight capacity.
Bag leaking moisture
Check if the waste has been left in the caddy for too long. Empty your caddy more frequently to prevent liquid accumulation.
Bag feels soft or degraded before use
This is likely due to improper storage. Ensure the rolls are stored away from moisture and heat sources.

Care Instructions:
- Storage: Always keep the rolls in their original packaging in a cool, dark, and dry cupboard. Exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity can shorten the shelf life of the material.

- Disposal: Dispose of the filled bags according to your local municipal organic waste collection guidelines or your own home compost heap.
