Please store these bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to maintain product quality. Use within 12 months.

Compostable carrier bags - end of life options

This compostable vest carrier bag offers a secondary use as a bin liner for a kitchen caddy or food waste bin (organic contents only).

After its secondary use, the bag and its contents can be disposed of in a food waste collection bin, where it will be sent for industrial composting (breaks down within 12 weeks).

This bag is also suitable for home composting, although this will take longer than 12 weeks (actual timescale will depend on composting conditions).

This compostable bag is not suitable for regular (non-organic) recycling, so please dispose of it in your regular waste collection if it can not be composted.
