We are committed to protecting the environment. Our bio-pouches are designed with sustainability at the forefront
Our industry-leading bio pouches mean our product packaging is fully biodegradable.Once you've finished your pack you can simply pop it into your council-collected garden-waste or food-waste bin where it will go off for composting.
Responsibility and sustainability
Our bio-pouches are comprised of three layers: kraft paper, film made from potato starch and a barrier film made from cellulose. The kraft paper uses only wood pulp originating from responsibly managed forests and the barrier film derives from cellulose sourced only from responsibly managed plantations..
As well as our compostable pouches, our padded postage bags are also environmentally friendly. The postage bags are constructed from 100% recycled paper and are fully recyclable and reusable. Our cardboard delivery boxes are printed using water-based inks and varnish, so are also 100% recyclable. We even use paper based packing tape instead of Sellotape!
Free of nasties
You can be reassured the new pouches do not contain any component materials obtained from genetically modified sources and are BPA and Pthalate free. The two labels used on the outside of the pouches contain no heavy metals or noxious content and are also fully complaint with compostable rules.
Work just as well as the old packs

Once they are empty you can add to your council-collected garden-waste or food-waste bin, for collection to an industrial composting facility. Please note that our pouches are not suitable for home-composting.
Fully compliant
Fully compliant
The criteria for the industrial compostability of packaging is set in the European standard for compostability EN13432, which requires the compostable plastics to disintegrate after 12 months and completely biodegrade after 6 months under industrial composting conditions. That means that 90% or more of the plastic material will have been converted to CO2 and that our bags comply to this standard. The labels we use on the front and back of our pouches also comply with EN13432 and are made from a mixture of sugar-cane fibre, hemp & linen, using waste sugar cane materials. Our pouches and label both comply with the requirements of Vincotte OK Compost certification for industrial composting
