White compostable waste sack - strorage instructions
Please store these compostable waste sacks in a cool, dry place and in their original packaging to best preserve product quality. Keep away from sunlight, heat or moisture and use within 12 months.
How to dispose of white compostable waste sacks
These waste sacks should be disposed of in your food waste collection bin, as they are designed to fully biodegrade in industrial composting conditions (see EN13432).
They can also be composted domestically home, but please note that this process will take a lot longer and will not meet EN13432's rapid biodegradation timescales.
These bags are not suitable for recycling, so if you can not compost them, please dispose of them in your regular domestic waste.
