Product Information

Full details

These 140-litre compostable wheelie bin liners from Eco Green Living are designed for environmentally conscious households looking for a sustainable way to manage organic waste. Their key benefit is certified 100% compostability for both home and industrial settings, breaking down completely without leaving microplastics. A potential caveat is that due to their breathable nature, they may not be suitable for very wet waste over extended periods without careful management. Made from thistles and plant starch, these liners offer an earth-friendly alternative to conventional plastic bin bags.

FAQs

Are these bags truly compostable?

Yes, these bags are third-party certified as 100% compostable for both home and industrial composting. They are made from plant-based materials and are designed to break down completely within 8-12 weeks without leaving harmful microplastics.

How many bags are in a pack?

Each pack contains 4 rolls, with 5 bags per roll, totaling 20 compostable wheelie bin liners.

Can I use these for general household waste?

No, these bags are specifically designed for organic waste that is suitable for composting. They are not intended for non-organic or hazardous waste.

What are the bags made from?

The bags are made from thistles and plant starch, which are non-edible organic materials.

How long do they take to decompose?

Under suitable composting conditions, the bags are designed to decompose completely within 8 to 12 weeks.

What does 'breathable design' mean for these bags?

The breathable nature of the bags allows controlled moisture and air exchange, which is beneficial for the natural decomposition process of organic waste in a compost environment.

Are these suitable for landfill?

While they will eventually decompose in landfill, their primary benefit and intended use is for composting environments where they break down effectively and beneficially.

Troubleshooting

Bag appears to be breaking down too quickly

Ensure the bag is not exposed to excessive moisture or heat. For home composting, check that your compost bin has adequate aeration and is not overly wet.

Difficulty tying the handles

Ensure the bag is not overfilled, which can strain the handles. Distribute the contents evenly before attempting to tie.

Unpleasant odors from the bin

While the breathable design aids composting, strong odors can still occur. Ensure only appropriate organic waste is included and consider adding dry materials like shredded paper or cardboard to the compost mix for better aeration.

Bag seems to be leaking

Check for punctures or tears. Avoid placing sharp objects in the bin. If the waste is excessively wet, consider adding absorbent material or emptying more frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll the required number of bags from the provided rolls. The integrated tie-handles make them ready for immediate use.

Compatibility:

These 140-litre liners are designed to fit standard 140-litre wheelie bins. They are specifically intended for organic waste only. Ensure that the contents are appropriate for composting (e.g., food scraps, garden waste). They are compatible with both home composting systems and industrial composting facilities that accept certified compostable materials.

Care:

To maximize their effectiveness, avoid overfilling the bags. While breathable, excessive moisture from very wet waste may require more frequent emptying or ensuring good aeration in your compost bin. Store the unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
