What size bin do these compostable liners fit?

The 36 litre size is designed to fit medium to large kitchen stand-alone bins, larger than the 27l option in the same Ecobags compostable range.

What are these bin liners made from?

They contain corn starch and are certified for both home and commercial composting, breaking down within roughly 90 to 180 days depending on the compost environment.

Can I put food scraps and paper waste in these liners?

Yes, they're designed to hold organic matter such as food scraps and waste paper, and to then be disposed of in a composting environment.

Will these liners break down if I just put them in landfill rubbish?

No. Composting results in the organic components breaking down into carbon dioxide and water with no harmful residues, but this only happens properly in a composting environment, not in landfill conditions.

Are these liners accepted in council green waste or food scraps collections?

It depends on your local council. Many NZ councils accept certified compostable liners in food scraps or green waste bins, but acceptance varies by region, so it's worth checking your council's specific guidelines.

Description

Compostable Bin liners, 36l

Petroleum-free compostable bin liners in a larger 36-litre size — suited to bigger kitchen bins or wheelie bin liners. Suitable for organic waste destined for home or commercial composting. Vegan, non-toxic. Responsibly made in China.

Certified home and commercial compostable to recognised New Zealand standards, these liners break down in approximately 90–180 days under proper composting conditions. Good to know: composting needs oxygen, moisture, and microbial activity to work its magic. Landfill has none of these, so these bags won't break down properly if they end up there. They're made for the compost bin, not the rubbish bin.

AS4736: Commercial Compostable Standard (ABAP 10113)

AS5810: Home Compostable Standard (ABAP 20047)

Many NZ councils accept certified compostable liners in their food scrap and organics collections. Worth a quick check of your local guidelines to be sure.
