Compostable Bin Liners
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between compostable and biodegradable bin liners?
Compostable bin liners are designed to break down fully into natural elements in composting conditions, meeting standards such as EN13432. Biodegradable bin liners may break down over time, but don’t always meet the same certification requirements or leave no residue.
How long can I store compostable bin liners before use?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight, compostable bin liners have a good shelf life comparable to conventional alternatives.
Will compostable bin liners leak or tear?
Our compostable bin liners are designed to handle typical household food waste, including moisture, when used as intended. Our liners include a degree of stretch, which makes them resistant to tearing and leaks.
What size compostable bin liner do I need?
Bin liner size depends on whether you’re using a small kitchen caddy or a larger household bin. Our product pages list recommended bin sizes to help you choose the right fit.
Are compostable bin liners accepted by UK councils?
Many UK councils accept compostable bin liners for food waste collections, particularly when they are certified to recognised compostability standards such as EN13432. Our liners are independently certified by TÜV Austria, confirming they meet strict requirements for industrial compostability. However, acceptance can vary by local authority, so we recommend checking your council’s guidance.
Are these bin liners home compostable?
Yes. Our compostable bin liners are certified home compostable and designed to break down in home composting conditions.
