Full details
The All-Green 8L Compostable Food Waste Caddy Liners are ideal for environmentally conscious households looking for a sustainable way to manage food scraps in small kitchen caddies. These liners provide the benefit of high wet-strength through durable paper construction, ensuring they hold up during use; however, they must be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent premature degradation, as their compostable nature makes them sensitive to moisture.

FAQs
Are these bags suitable for local council food waste collections?
Yes, these liners are fully certified to EN13432 and are generally approved by most local authorities for their food waste collection schemes.
Can I use these in a 5L caddy?
Yes, these bags are specifically designed to fit most 5-litre kitchen compost caddies.
Will they break down in a home compost heap?
Yes, they are designed to break down quickly and harmlessly in an active, well-maintained home compost heap.
What happens if they get wet before I put them in the caddy?
Exposure to moisture will begin the composting process and weaken the bag. It is essential to store them in a dry place.
Are they made from recycled trees?
The paper is sourced from sustainable, renewable resources and does not use hardwood trees from rainforests.
Troubleshooting
Bag tearing while in the caddy
Ensure the bag is not being overfilled with heavy, excessively wet items. Try lining the bottom with a small amount of dry material like shredded newspaper or cardboard to absorb excess moisture.
Bags arriving stuck together or damp
Check your storage environment. Ensure they are kept away from steam, kitchen sinks, or humid cabinets. If they have absorbed moisture, they must be used immediately.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Environmentally friendly and biodegradable
- High wet strength prevents leakage
- Approved by most local authorities for green bin schemes
- Easy to shape and fit into standard caddies
Cons
- Sensitive to moisture if stored improperly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your kitchen compost caddy has a capacity of approximately 5 litres. When setting up, simply expand the base of the liner and press it firmly into the bottom of the container. If the bag is slightly larger than your bin, fold the excess paper over the outer rim. Regarding care and longevity, it is critical that these bags are stored in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Because they are designed to decompose, exposure to damp conditions or high humidity during storage will weaken the paper fibers and potentially cause the bags to tear before they are even used.
