A rim circumference of approximately 90cm or less is a useful starting guide. Measure all the way around the top of your bin, then check its height against the bag dimensions, allowing extra room to cover the base and fold over the rim.

Fit depends on the bin’s shape and height, not just its litre capacity. Council caddies vary, so check your measurements before ordering.

• Kitchen caddies and benchtop food scrap bins
• Council food scrap caddies where compostable liners are accepted, subject to fit
• Small bathroom and office bins
• Apartment kitchens and compact spaces

• Tear off a bag, open it and place it in a clean, dry bin
• Fold the top over the rim
• Avoid excess liquids, sharp items and overfilling
• Empty your bin regularly and tie the handles before carrying
• Store unused bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• For best performance, use before the best-before date printed on the packaging

Compost the liner at home with suitable food scraps, or use your council’s food scrap or organics collection where certified compostable liners are accepted. Check your council’s guidance on what can go inside the bag too.

If used for general household rubbish, dispose of the filled liner in general waste. Keep compostable bags out of kerbside and soft plastic recycling.

Are these bags home compostable?

Yes. They are certified for both home and commercial composting. Full certification details are listed above.

How long do they take to break down?

It depends on your compost. Warm, moist compost with good airflow helps the bags break down, while cooler or less active compost takes longer.

Do these liners fit council food scrap caddies?

Council caddies vary in shape and size. Check your caddy’s measurements against the bag dimensions before ordering.

Can I use them in my council food scrap collection?

Yes, where your council accepts certified compostable liners. Check your local council’s guidance before use.

Can they go in recycling?

No. Compostable bags should stay out of kerbside and soft plastic recycling.

Are compostable and biodegradable bags the same?

Not necessarily. “Biodegradable” does not automatically mean a bag is suitable for composting. These liners are certified for home and commercial composting.

Will they compost in landfill?

They should not be expected to compost in landfill. Where possible, dispose of them with suitable food scraps through home composting or an organics collection that accepts them.
