Compostable White Mailing Bags 10 x 14 Inches 255X355mm - 40 Microns (100 per pack)

Compostable White Mailing Bags 10 x 14 Inches 255X355mm - 40 Microns

Compostamailer mailing bags are manufactured using approved and certified compostable materials which conform to Industrial Composting Standard EN13432. Subject to the conditions of industrial composting, the bags will disintegrate into much smaller pieces by 12 weeks and fully biodegrade by 6 months. Compostamailer can be home composted but due to the thickness of the material, this will take considerably longer. Compostamailer cannot be put in your standard recycling waste bin. Please dispose of the bag in your normal food waste bin, compost bin or organic recycling bin only.

Please store Compostamailer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.  Best performance when used within 12 months of removal from original packaging.  Humidity, direct heat, sunlight or moisture will reduce the bags’ optimum performance and shelf life.

Compostamailer mailing bags may carry an odour, this is created by the additive which breaks down the material in composting conditions.  Generally this is worse when a sealed carton is first opened and will dissipate over time.
