How to dispose
This bag is suitable for recycling until it starts to degrade. After this point, it may be suitable for home composting if conditions are suitable (timescale will depends on compost environment but may take several years). As a last resort, it can be put in the bin, as it will degrade in the upper regions of landfill.
Do not place in your food bin, as it is not suitable for industrial composting. For packing bags that can be disposed of in this manner, please see our range of compostable packing bags.
