  • Practical compostability - there must be no negative effects on the composting process.
  • Chemicals - all constituent elements must be disclosed and threshold tests for heavy metals must be adhered to.
  • Ecotoxicity - the resultant compost must not negatively affect plant growth.

Storing compostable packing bags

These bags should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat/humidity. Use within 12 months.
