Can I use these biodegradable refuse sacks in council food-waste bins?

This is a good question, and an important one too. While our biodegradable sacks are kinder to the environment than traditional plastic ones, all councils accept them for food waste collection. There are many local authorities that need certified compostable bags for food scraps. Our biodegradable clear refuse sacks are ideal for dry recycling, general rubbish or garden waste.

Is a biodegradable refuse sack strong enough for garden waste?

Absolutely! Binbags.com has tested them to be sure. These sacks have been made from heavy-duty material. These bags are more than capable of handling damp leaves, grass clippings, twigs and even bulky cuttings. Their strength is similar to what you can expect from high-performance bin liners which are used in professional environments like hospitals, schools, etc. All you have to do is to just be mindful not to overfill or pack in sharp branches. Biodegradable clear refuse sacks are perfect for Sunday tidy-up in the garden.

How long does it take for the sack to fully decompose?

Well, that depends on where and how it has been disposed of. In an industrial composting facility or in a warm and moist environment with Oxygen, these bags may break down well within 12 months. On the other side, they might take longer to decompose themselves in less air or moisture. That said, they will still degrade far faster than regular plastic, which may linger for many years.
