Bio-Transformation bags - how to dispose
You can recycle our biodegradable bags with other soft plastics. If your local council does not collect these, we suggest finding your local bag collection point.
Please avoid disposing of these bags with food waste or in home compost heaps, as they are not designed to biodegrade in these environments.
For packing bags designed to be disposed of with food waste in industrial composting conditions (as per EN13432 standard), see our range of compostable packing bags.
