FAQs

Are these bags suitable for home composting?

These bags are made from compostable plant starch material. While they are designed to break down, it's important to check with your local waste management authority regarding their specific guidelines for disposing of compostable bags and food waste.

How many bags are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 compostable caddy bags.

What are the dimensions of each bag?

Each bag measures 57cm x 59cm.

Can I use these bags for non-food waste?

While versatile, these bags are primarily designed for daily food waste. They can be used for general household waste in smaller bins, but their compostable nature means they are best utilized for organic materials.

How long can I store these bags?

For best performance, store the bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to use them within 12-18 months of purchase.

Do the bags have a strong smell?

No, these bags are naturally odorless, helping to minimize unpleasant smells associated with food waste.

Troubleshooting

Bag tears during use

Ensure the bag is not overfilled, particularly with heavy or wet items. Check for any sharp objects in the waste. The thickened design should prevent tears with normal use.

Bag leaks liquid

Verify the bag is securely closed and not overfilled. The leak-proof design is robust but extreme pressure or prolonged exposure to very wet waste could potentially lead to minor seepage. Ensure the bag is disposed of in a timely manner.

Bags seem sticky or brittle

This can occur if the bags have been stored in a humid environment or for an extended period. Store unused bags in a cool, dry place and use them within a reasonable timeframe.
