The website claims that their bags are ‘…significantly stronger than similar bags on the market and are less likely to rip and fall apart during use.’. My mum wholeheartedly agrees with this statement and she is very impressed with the bags. She says it is great that you can put wet tea-bags and soggy vegetable peelings in the bag and you don’t have that niggling feeling that the bag will break on your way to taking it to the compost heap at the bottom of the garden.

My dad is also very impressed with the bags….but this time as a sandwich bag! When the compostable bags arrived my mum left them on the table over night ready to take to the primary school the next day. However in the morning my dad got up to make his sandwiches for his lunch and he then put them in the funky new green sandwich bags that he found on the table!!! He was very pleased by the size of the bags as he could fit all his sandwiches in neatly without them getting squashed. Not surprising really…they are 7 litre food ‘waste’ bags. 🙂
We have now told him they are in fact for food rubbish not for his dinner but he still continues to use them. The routine now goes like this. …Dad uses food bag for 2 or 3 days and then mum starts to use it as a food ‘waste’ bag. Sounds very environmentally friendly to me as it means mum hasn’t bought any more cheap plastic sandwich bags for dad to take his lunch in….therefore that’s a few plastic bags that haven’t been sent to landfill. Every little thing counts when you are trying to be eco-friendly.
Please note that I do not know if it is okay/ safe to use these as food bags(?). In my personal opinion I can’t see any reason why not…but if you wish to ask then please contact the team at Kitchen Waste Bags here. Whether it is ‘recommended’ or not..I can’t see my dad listening as he likes his new sandwich bags. 🙂
