Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The Toastabags Compostable Paper Food and Snack Bags replace food bags made from plastic.
The Food and Snack Bags are made from 100% sustainably sourced unbleached greaseproof paper.
Conventional food and freezer bags that are made from plastic take hundreds of years to break down in landfill, and when they do, they release microplastics which end up washing into the oceans, contaminating the food chain. This is in addition to the pollution caused by plastic production and extracting the oil that the plastic is made from. The Compostable Food and Snack Bags on the other hand are made from paper. They don't release any microplastics and and compost down within a few months, returning back to nature.
The Food and Snack Bags are packaged in a recyclable and compostable cardboard box.
When you have used your Food and Snack Bags, they are suitable for home composting, so can be put in your compost bin. They can also be put into your food waste collection if your local council offer this service.
