Compostable or biodegradable - choose the products which suit the way you recycle
Our products are compostable or biodegradable which means that rather than being disposed of with other plastic waste, they should be recycled in a different way. Compostable products can either be disposed of in a local composting facility or with garden and food waste in your compost bin at home. Home composting takes longer than industrial composting which can take up to 90 days for waste to break down to compost. Biodegradable products should be processed in special industrial composters and as yet not all local authorities offer the facility to do this, so please check first.
Many of our products look and feel exactly like their plastic counterparts but must not be placed with plastic recycling as they will degrade the final recycled plastic.
Why make the switch to Single Use Alternatives?
Millions of tonnes of single use plastic is produced each year, with the vast majority ending up in landfill sites or as environmental pollution. Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade and when you consider that all of the plastic ever produced still exists in some form, something has to be done.
We believe that the main barriers which prevent businesses and individuals from making the switch from plastics to sustainable alternatives is cost and convenience. We aim to offer something different, with a wide range of affordable eco-friendly products which are easy to order for delivery direct to your door.
Ideal for catering business, coffee shops, takeaways or entertaining at home, our products are delivered with minimal packaging and clear instructions on how to recycle them.
