Sustainability & Certifications

"Biodegradable" is a vague term—almost anything breaks down eventually! Our products are Home Compostable, meaning they are certified to break down in your garden compost heap at low temperatures. They return to the earth as nutrient-rich biomass and water, leaving behind zero microplastics or harmful residues.
We are proud to hold the DIN Certco certification (NFT51-800). This is the gold standard for home composting; it guarantees the product will disintegrate in ambient temperatures, mimicking a typical backyard setup rather than requiring an industrial facility. And the SGS Certified for sisal sponge; it’s a professional-grade certification that ensures your kitchen remains a chemical-free zone.
In a well-maintained home compost bin, most of our items (like the cone bags and bin liners) will break down within 26–52 weeks. It may take slightly longer during the colder British winter months!
Absolutely not. Our range is 100% plant-based, typically derived from corn starch, sugar cane, or cellulose.

The short answer is no. Because our bags and sponges are made from 100% natural materials, they are designed to return to the earth, not to be processed with plastic bottles or metal tins. Placing compostable items in your dry recycling bin can actually contaminate the plastic recycling stream. Instead, please pop them in your home compost or check if your local council accepts compostable materials in your food waste bin.
Home Compost Bin: The best and most sustainable option.

Food Waste Caddy: If your local council accepts certified compostable packaging.

General Waste: If the first two aren't available—they are still a far better choice than traditional oil-based plastics.

Yes, they are fully certified food-grade. They are perfect for sweets, popcorn, marshmallows, and even loose-leaf tea.
Yes! You can use a standard heat-sealer on a low setting to keep your treats fresh and secure.
Because they are plant-based, they have a softer feel than traditional crinkly plastic. However, they are just as strong and offer excellent clarity to show off your products.
Typically 1–2 months with daily use. Unlike plastic sponges, they won't crumble or shed microplastics down your drain.
To keep them fresh, pop them in the dishwasher or soak in boiling water. Always allow them to air-dry between uses.

Since they are 100% plant-based, just chop them up and toss them into your home compost or food waste bin.
Not at all! Just soak it in warm water for a few minutes and it will expand to its full size.

To ensure your products perform at their best, we recommend using them within:

Sweet Cone Bags: 12 months

Sponges: Indefinite (if kept dry before use)
To keep them in top condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. High heat and moisture are what start the composting process, so keep them tucked away in a cupboard until you need them.
Always. We ship everything in recycled cardboard boxes or compostable mailers using paper tape. Your delivery will be 100% "bin-friendly."
