How to dispose of Bio-T bags
We recommend that these biodegradable bags are recycled with other soft plastics. If your local council does not collect these, you can take them to your nearest bag collection point - often found at major supermarkets.
Please note these bags are *not* designed for composting in a closed environment, so should not be used to collect food waste to throw in your food bin.
For packing bags that can be used and disposed of in this manner, please see our range of compostable packing bags.
