There has been a huge amount of publicity over the past few months over the supermarket carrier bags issue and how they take 1000 years to degrade when put into landfill sites - I personally think that this a huge smoke screen put up by the supermarkets to deflect us from the food packaging issue which does a lot more harm to the environment than the free carrier bags.
Here are a few stats that made me sit up and listen:
As one of the largest Internet retailers of freestanding recycle bins we thought we should take the bull by the horns and see if we could provide our customers with a range of TOTALLY biodegradeable bin liners and through our trade contacts we have managed to source some fantastic products that meet our objectives.
These bin liners have the compostable accreditation no. 7P0191 and are expected to degrade within 45 to 60 days of going into landfill.
Currently we are only offering 90 litre Biodegradable bin liners with dimensions of 73cm (closed width) x 146cm (open width) x 83cm length. But these will suit most tall freestanding bins used in kitchens today including Wesco, Brabantia, Hailo, Simplehuman, Vibo and all other leading brands on the market.
We will be adding more bin liners to the range over the coming months so watch this space...
