For those who always ask me for a plastic free way to dispose of waste at home I now have the incredible range available from All Green! They have the options of paper bin liners and home compostable bin liners in different sizes for everyone! These fully compostable and biodegradable paper liners are designed to fit most small kitchen compost caddies. Environmentally friendly and approved for use by most local authorities, paper is an excellent alternative to cornstarch bags and being constructed from 1ply, 70 gsm waterproof / wet strengthed paper and this helps to ensure they won't break when holding wet contents! All of their compostable bin liners have the EN certification 'OK Compost HOME' which means they are compostable with food scraps in a home composting container. For a bag or products to obtain the compost certifications, no traditional plastics are allowed as these can never decompose. And therefore no phthalates, BPA and other bisphenols either as these are plasticizers used in traditional plastics!
Fully compostable in home compost Approved for food contact Plastic free packaging Made from 1ply, 70gsm Wet Strength Paper Phthalates and bisphenol/ BPA free EN 13432 Certified
EN 13432 requires the compostable plastics to disintegrate after 12 weeks and completely biodegrade after six months. That means that 90 percent or more of the plastic material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost. Materials and products complying with this standard can be certified and labelled accordingly.
