“I ordered some 30L compostable bin liners along with Eco Sponge Scourers. I can't comment on the latter yet, but I'm very disappointed with the bin liners. I know they're compostable but they're not fit for purpose as bin liners - too fragile and rapidly falling apart if there's anything moist in the rubbish, so that they dump the contents on the floor when removing them from the bin. I've had to double bag them, which is neither ecologically nor financially sound.”
We know that thin compostable bin liners are a problem, and so we've sourced the highest quality, most sturdy material that we've found that still complies with the highest compostability standards. That said, they aren't quite like the plastic versions and so there are some tips to make sure they don't split available on our website that are (1) Store in a cool, dry place - heat speeds up their decomposition (2)
avoid putting hot liquids in them, grease/oil, wool/animal products and dust (3) Change your liner more frequently if coming into contact with food waste, particularly meat products: as these start to rot they cause the liners to decompose faster (4) Keep your bin in a cool, dry place to help prolong the life of the liners.
