WormTech now has the infrastructure in place to supply Biodegradable bags and Biodegradable packaging in a variety of sizes and micron thicknesses to suit our clients’ requirements.

Our Biodegradable bags are made from a maize and corn starch material which is totally biodegradable and are ideal for the composting industry.

Not only is this an eco friendly way to collect waste and is advantageous both in composting and the reduction in the amount of plastic that is currently used, it can also be proven to be very cost effective.

Advantages of using Biodegradable bags:

Ease of use for customer
Ease of handling on collection
Contaminants can be seen
No extra handling involved
During winter months, there is a nutrient value within the bags, which will help to produce quality compost when the carbon content within green waste is high during this season

Comparison with Wheelie Bin and Container Collections

Wheelie bins and skips are likely to have high contamination
Bins and containers have to be cleaned regularly to avoid smells and vermi
More difficult to handle and add to collection time – time consuming compared to bags
During winter periods, carbon content increases giving poor quality compost. To produce good compost, carbon/nitrogen ratios have to be within boundaries.
