240L Compostable Bin Liners
Managing large amounts of food waste is much easier with the right bin liners, and Biosac 240L Compostable Bin Liners Roll of 10 offer a practical alternative to conventional plastic bin bags.

What does EN13432 certification mean for compostable bin liners?
EN13432 is a European standard that establishes requirements for packaging intended to be recovered through composting and biodegradation. Certification involves testing for biodegradability, disintegration under specified composting conditions and the quality of the resulting compost. It does not mean a liner will necessarily break down quickly in a home compost heap or landfill.
Can compostable bin liners go into any food waste collection bin?
Not always. Although these Biosac liners meet EN13432 requirements, individual councils and commercial waste contractors have different rules about which materials they accept. Some services allow certified compostable liners, while others require food waste to be collected loose or in specific bags. It's worth checking your collection provider's requirements before use.
What's the difference between compostable and biodegradable bin bags?
Biodegradable simply means a material can be broken down by biological processes, but the term alone doesn't specify how long this takes or under which conditions. Certified compostable liners must meet defined performance requirements under specified composting conditions. Looking for recognised certification, such as EN13432, provides more useful information than a general biodegradable claim.
