Product Information
Full details
These Eco Green Living Compostable Waste Bags (140L, Green) are designed for environmentally conscious households and businesses seeking a truly biodegradable solution for organic waste. The key benefit is their certified 100% compostability, breaking down completely without harmful microplastics. A potential consideration is that, like all compostable bags, they are best used with organic waste and may not be suitable for all types of landfill waste. This product features innovative technology, easy tie-handles, and is made from thistles and plant starch, offering a strong and earth-friendly alternative to traditional plastic bin liners.

FAQs
Are these bags truly compostable?
Yes, these bags are third-party certified as 100% compostable for both home and industrial composting. They are designed to decompose completely within 8 to 12 weeks without leaving harmful microplastics or residues.
What materials are these bags made from?
They are made from plant-based materials, specifically thistles and plant starch, which are non-edible organic resources.
Can I use these bags for general household waste?
These bags are best suited for organic waste (food scraps, garden waste). While they will decompose, using them for mixed landfill waste might impede the composting process and is not their intended use.
How do I ensure they compost effectively?
For best results, place the bags in a suitable compost bin or collection service. The breathable design aids decomposition, but proper composting conditions (temperature, moisture, aeration) are key.
What does 'breathable' mean for a compost bag?
A breathable bag allows some air and moisture to pass through. For compostable bags, this helps to accelerate the breakdown of organic waste by facilitating natural decomposition processes.
How should I store unused bags?
Store unused bags in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain their compostable integrity until ready for use.
What is the size of these bags?
These are 140-litre capacity waste bags.
Troubleshooting
Bag tears during use
Ensure the bag is not overfilled and that sharp objects are not included in the waste. Distribute weight evenly. For tougher waste, consider double-bagging or using a compostable liner for your bin first.
Unpleasant odors from the bin
The breathable nature of the bags allows moisture to escape, which can help reduce odors. Ensure the bag is tied securely and disposed of regularly. Mixing dry materials (like shredded paper) with food scraps can also help manage moisture and odor.
Bag decomposing too quickly
Store unused bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing bags in excessively warm or humid environments. Ensure the waste inside is not excessively wet before tying and sealing the bag.

- Packaged in eco-friendly, recycled, and recyclable materials.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unfold a bag and place it inside your 140-litre wheelie bin. Line the bin walls to prevent direct contact with waste, which can extend the life of your bin.
Compatibility: These bags are designed to fit standard 140-litre wheelie bins. They are compatible with organic food waste, garden waste, and other compostable materials. They are certified for home and industrial composting facilities; always check with your local waste management service regarding accepted compostable materials.
Care: Store the unused bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. As they are designed to decompose, prolonged exposure to heat or moisture before use can accelerate this process. Once filled, tie the handles securely and dispose of them promptly in a designated compost bin or collection service.
