First Mile and Vegware team up to stop compostable packaging ending up in landfill

Compostable packaging is often touted as the solution to the problem of single-use plastics, nevertheless rather than breaking down into compost as intended the supposedly sustainable material still frequently ends up being incinerated or consigned to landfill across the UK.

The Truth About Biodegradable Plastic Packaging

I am SOOO impressed with my boxes! Easy peasy to order and collect. The manufacture is delicious and high quality. I LOVE that it is also low waste and uses minimal packaging/biodegradable bags.

The Degradability of Bio-Degradable Bags

Oxo-degradables are technically recyclable, because polyethylene can be melted and re-processed with other recyclable material. However, the bio-degradable properties of the recyclable bags will be retained in products that they later become – potentially shortening the shelf-life of those products; which means recycling these bio-degradable bags is not a viable option.

You can put things straight into the green bin. You can wrap food waste in newspaper or put it in a paper bag. Please do not use biobags or corn starch bags. These do not smash down fast enough and reduce the quality of the compost manufactured. Your bin could also be refused assortment. More information on how the compost is manufactured can be found on RECAP's website . You can come by out your bin assortment days onour bin assortment day page .
