How to dispose
Suitable for recycling while bag still intact. Once degradation begins, can be placed in the bin as a last resort (will break down in upper regions of landfill).
Do not place in your food waste collection, as not suitable for industrial composting. May be suitable for home composting, but timsecale will vary widely according to disposal conditions and may take several years.
