Frequently Asked Questions

What are they made from?

Our bin liners are made from a compostable resin named Mater-Bi produced by Novamont, an Italian research company dedicated to environmental alternatives to polyethylene-based plastics. Mater-Bi is an innovative family of bioplastics that uses substances obtained from plants, such as but not limited to, non-genetically modified corn starch, and biodegradable/compostable polymers obtained both from renewable raw materials and fossil raw materials. Novamont’s policy is to acquire and use exclusively natural, non-GM, raw materials (such as starch).

Do they break down into microplastics?

No, the liners are certified compostable and contain a variety of compostable polymers so they can safely be eaten by worms and microorganisms, leaving no toxic residues or microplastics behind.

Will the bin liner break down in a home compost and can I put them in my worm farm?

Yes, in an active compost environment, our liners will break down within a matter of weeks and at the same rate as your food scraps. Success of home composting depends on how rich your compost is and the conditions unique to your compost bin and your location, including outside temperatures, moisture levels and the number of active microorganisms. The bags break down at normal compost temperatures and don’t need to be heated to high temperatures to break down. Yes, these bin liners can be placed in a worm farm sporadically however, they are much better suited for the compost bin. If placing in a worm farm we recommend chopping the bags into little bit so it is easier for the worms to break down.

What if the liner doesn’t make it into an organics recycling or compost bin?

It will break down anywhere oxygen and microorganisms are present and microorganisms are everywhere. If a bin liner becomes litter today, it only has a matter of weeks to reach the marine environment, whereas plastic bags remain in the environment for hundreds of years. Our number one goal is offering an alternative to plastic bags. If we can divert just one gram of plastic away from landfill then we’re happy. Even if they don’t make it into a compost bin, they’re still better for the environment as a whole because they don’t break down into microplastics and they have a lower carbon footprint than plastic which is made from oil – a non-renewable resource.

Is a BioBag as strong as a plastic bag?

Yes, when you try them you’ll see the strength of a BioBag is comparable to a normal plastic bag and the technology is improving all the time.

Fantastic Bin Liners

The bin liner for the Compost Bins are fantastic, perfect size with a little bit extra room.

Be great if these came standard with a free roll when you purchase a new compost bin..

And perhaps selling them in bulk, rather than just one roll would be great as well.

I love the compost bins. I’ve had one for years, but the bottom cracked and has been deteriorating over time.

Not even knowing that we could get liners for them, which would’ve been a great sale back then, so I’ve had to replace bin at a cost, but will now use the liners.

Great product.

Love them!

I wanted to get into composting but wanted a neat and tidy way to take my scraps down to the communal compost bin. These bags make it super easy. They are a little on the thin side, which I assume is because they’re compostable themselves but otherwise they’re great.

Would recommend.

Good, nearly great

Bin Liners are good, but do tear quite easily when full. If there was any way they could be made a bit tougher, they would be perfect.

Seed & Sprout Co

Thanks for your feedback Patrick! We'd suggest making sure the compostable bin liners are kept in a cool, dark spot to extend their longevity, never placing hot food in them and not over-filling (if you have lots of food waste then you can double bag your bin) if you're still having trouble the bags may be faulty so drop us a message and we'll replace them :)
