The world's first certified, fully biodegradable and compostable plastic bags.

Roll of 25 bags. Dimensions of bag: 57cm long x 51cm wide. Suitable for commercial and domestic use.

Other 'degradable' plastic bags on the market are polyethelene bags with a percentage of plant starch or additives. Degradable bags break down into pieces of plastic debris that do not compost.

To avoid misleading claims and be sure that the bags you purchase will actually biodegrade rapidly and safely, look for independent certification. Our bags are fully certified to EU OK Compost and US standards to be 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable. They contain no polyethylene.

Interesting info about these bags:

Completely biodegrade after 10 - 45 days depending on the method used — compared with 50 or more years for normal plastic bags;
A better choice for rubbish, because normal plastic bags slow the natural process of the rubbish biodegrading;
The bags 'breathe', reducing the weight of the by up to 25% in 5 days. Ideal for collecting food waste for composting as they reduce smells, stop mould growth and the waste dries out making it easier to compost or worm.
Certified by the Biodegreable Products Institute (BPI) and DIN CERTCO;
Made of a material called Mater-Bi, which consists of cornstarch, biodegradable and compostable polyester and vegetable oil.

Please remember, these bags still need to be responsibly disposed off in your rubbish.

Made in Norway.

We use all three sizes of these bio-degradable bags and find this 30 litre size brilliant for waste bins; the 8 litre are great for the small bench-size bins and the 35 litre are a little tougher and brilliant for larger waste, like messy pizza boxes etc. Though thin, they are as strong as one needs for rubbish. I find them much stronger than the recycled plastic bags one can now be given in shops. Very highly recommended.
