Unfortunately there seem to be at least two meanings of compostable.
Many of the new "compostable" materials are only compostable in the high
termperatures and intensive conditions of an industrial composting
plant, and will show little degradation in an ordinary garden compost
bin. I have found this with compostable food waste bags, which seem to
persist for years at least in domestic compost.


They are prohibited by our council.


so how are you supposed to collect your compostable waste then?


We have a small €śkitchen caddy€ť which we can empty into a larger food waste
bin that we put out once a week for collection. Using bags isnt
necessary.
