Introducing the dual-use compostable carrier bag. The greenest bag in Britain!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Unlike ordinary supermarket carrier bags, compostable shopping bags are made from a material called bio plastic. This offers three benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
  1. Bio plastic includes plant-based ingredients which are renewable and from a sustainable source.<\/li>
  2. Compostable bio plastic bags can be reused as food waste kitchen caddy-liners and [simple_tooltip content=’The biodegradation of organic material that meets a set standard (EN13432).’]composted<\/strong>[\/simple_tooltip] along with the food waste. <\/li>
  3. Should the bags be carelessly discarded, they are [simple_tooltip content=’The decomposition of organic material by microorganisms.’]100% biodegradable<\/strong>[\/simple_tooltip] in the wider environment.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Green Carrier<\/strong> is specifically designed to be reused as a food waste caddy-liner, so it ticks all the boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Good for Shoppers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When you buy a Green Carrier at the till you get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • A strong eco-friendly shopping bag.<\/li>
    • A larger than average food waste caddy-liner that meets your council’s quality standards.<\/li>
    • A no-mess liner with long tie-handles that is easy to secure and to remove from the caddy.<\/li>
    • Two products for less than the cost of one caddy-liner on a roll.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Good for Retailers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      • Offering your customers Green Carriers is a cost-neutral solution. You can buy them for 5p and charge 5p.<\/li>
      • You’ll be offering an eco-friendly biodegradable carrier bag instead of a plastic one.<\/li>
      • You’ll be helping to remove millions of single-use plastic bags from circulation.<\/li>
      • We’ll give you free window stickers and product support material.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Good for The Planet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        • Material composition includes renewable, plant-based materials.<\/li>
        • Dual-use results in a low carbon footprint.<\/li>
        • Predictable and eco-friendly method of disposal.<\/li>
        • The bag has a dedicated second use as a caddy-liner, so it is unlikely to wind up as litter.<\/li>
        • Biodegradable in the wider environment.<\/li>
        • Due to their distinctive colour and markings, the bags are unlikely to be accidentally added to plastic recycling streams.<\/li>
        • Green Carriers help to maintain the quality of residential food waste collections by reducing the risk of plastic contamination.<\/li>
        • Compared to cheap caddy-liners, the no-mess features of The Green Carrier can increase participation and retention rates.<\/li>
        • When promoted as a council-approved solution, councils can save the cost of giving away free caddy-liners (which often costs hundreds of thousands of pounds every year).<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
