GENERAL QUESTIONS

I am unsure what size compostable bags I need; how do I work this out?
To work out what size bags you need for either your bin or compost caddy you will need to find out your bin’s rim size. To do this you will need to measure the width and depth and carry out the following sum: (width x 2) + (depth + 2) = Rim Size.

You will find the sizes of our bags in the description this includes the Rim size and the length so you can find the most suitable bag for your bin. We also have a dedicated page to help determine what size bag you would need for your bin, please find this here. (https://www.all-green.co.uk/bag-size-advice)

How do I store my compostable liners?
It is vital that you store your compostable bags in a cool, dark, and dry place – Otherwise they begin to break down! A kitchen cupboard or drawer is ideal and under these conditions you would expect our liners to have a life of approximately 18 months.

Remember to use the oldest liners first!
It’s easy when you purchase more liners to put the new ones at the front of the drawer and push the old ones to the back! Of course, then the older batch of liners will not be used for a long time, so it’s likely they will soon be over 18 months old and begin to break down.

When liners begin to break down, they may split as you take them off the roll, form holes, or even create strange zig-zag tear patterns. This is completely normal if you try to use old bags.

The GOLDEN RULE is to not buy more than you need and always use the oldest ones first!

Do compostable liners have a use by date?
Yes, as compostable liners are made from natural/biodegradable materials, they are designed to break down over time, therefore our bags have an expected shelf life of 18 months from the date they were purchased.
