Plastic bin liners are some of the worst offenders for plastic waste – sent to landfill and often ending up in the ocean. However, compostable biodegradable bin liner bags are just as strong and leak-proof as plastic bin liners, but will break down in six months if composted, and slightly longer if in landfill.
Around seven million tons of food is thrown away by UK households every year, pumping methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Leftover food is never actually waste as it can be recycled – sent to processing plants to be transformed into electricity, or turned into compost which farmers can use as fertiliser.
EcoVibe‘s bin bags are truly compostable, and meet certifications for industrial and home composting. They are approved for council food waste collection in the UK. EcoVibe also sells dog poop bags made of 100% organic material, including corn starch.
A range of domestic eco-friendly bin bags are sold on the Ethical Superstore‘s website.
