Product Information
Full details
These D2W Degradable Refuse Sacks are designed for environmentally conscious households seeking to reduce plastic waste. Their key benefit is complete degradation without harmful residues, making them a sustainable choice for general household waste. A potential consideration is their degradable nature, which means they are not intended for long-term waste storage. This pack contains 10 black, 70-liter bin liners, each measuring approximately 74 x 86cm, suitable for bins with a rim of up to 148cm.

FAQs
What does 'degradable' mean for these bin bags?
Degradable means that the material is designed to break down into natural elements over a relatively short period, leaving no harmful residues behind, unlike traditional plastics.
How long does it take for these bags to degrade?
The exact degradation time can vary depending on environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and microbial activity. However, they are designed to disappear completely in a short timeframe under typical disposal conditions.
Can I use these bags for recycling?
These bags are intended for general household refuse. They are not specifically designed or recommended for use in recycling streams unless your local waste management authority has approved them for such purposes.
Are these bags compostable?
While degradable, they are not necessarily certified compostable. For composting, look for bags specifically labeled as 'compostable'.
What is the capacity of each bag?
Each bag has a capacity of 70 liters.
What are the dimensions of the bags?
The dimensions are approximately 74cm x 86cm (29' x 34').
Where are these bags manufactured?
The product information does not specify the manufacturing location, but D2W is a trademark of Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc.
Troubleshooting
Bag tears during use
Ensure the bag is not overloaded with sharp or excessively heavy items. Check that the bag is fitted correctly around the bin rim to prevent stress points.
Bag appears to be degrading too quickly before use
Store the unused bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are not exposed to moisture.
Sack doesn't fit the bin properly
Verify the bin's rim circumference. These sacks are designed for bins with a rim up to 148cm. If your bin is significantly smaller or larger, a different size sack may be needed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces plastic waste significantly due to complete degradation.
- Leaves no harmful residues, making it an eco-friendly disposal option.
- Fits common 70-liter bins securely.
- Practical for everyday household use where waste is disposed of regularly.
Cons
- Not suitable for waste that needs to be stored for extended periods due to their degradable nature.
- May require more frequent waste disposal compared to non-degradable bags.
- Degradation timeframe can vary based on environmental conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply take one sack from the roll and line your chosen bin. Ensure the edges are pulled down and over the rim of the bin for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These sacks are designed for use in standard 70-liter household bins. They are compatible with bins having a rim circumference of up to 148cm. Ensure your bin's dimensions match the sack's suitability to avoid tears or improper fit.
Care: As these are degradable bin liners, avoid exposing them to prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture before use, as this can accelerate the degradation process prematurely. Store them in a cool, dry place. Once filled, tie the bag securely and dispose of it promptly according to local waste management guidelines. These sacks are intended for general household waste and are not designed for sharp or heavy materials that could cause punctures.
