The basic rule is: only put organic waste in paper bags in the organic waste bin!
Plastic bags may not be used for organic waste because they cannot be broken down without residues during the fermentation and composting process. Like other plastic bags and contaminants, they must therefore be laboriously sorted out and burned as residual waste. This also includes the compostable or biodegradable plastic bags made from corn starch that are sold in stores. Our kraft paper bags are the alternative. They are water- and tear-resistant, made from a renewable raw material and 100% compostable and degradable. This means that the strict requirements of municipal waste disposal companies are met.
