Bumboo’s 50 Litre Eco Bin Liners

Bumboo Bin Liners are made in the UK from plant-based polymers and reinforced with graphene, they combine strength with responsible end‑of‑life. They keep smells in, keep liquids contained, and break down cleanly at industrial composting sites.

The core material is a mix of sugar‑based PLA and ethically sourced cornstarch, strengthened with a layer of graphene, the carbon material linked to a Nobel Prize in Physics. It gives toughness without adding bulk and helps to lock in odours and moisture.

Each 50 litre bag supports up to 10 kg of household waste without splitting. These liners meet EN 13432 standards for compostable materials and are suitable for industrial composting.

Bumboo liners help stop leaks, hold their shape, and keep smells under control. That means fewer mid‑week bin changes and less scrubbing out the bin itself.

Why Choose Compostable Bin Bags?

Biodegradable bin bags break down by bacteria but this can take months or years. Compostable bin bags obviously are not composted at home due to what’s inside (cloth nappies, dog poo, non-recyclable items).

So the answer is to buy compostable bin bags, and vote for greener councils who invest in industrial composting systems that use certain heat and humidity, to safely break bags and rubbish down into water and carbon dioxide, usually within 12 weeks.

Unused black bin bags can’t be recycled, as machines don’t recognise the colour. To get them out of your town once and for all, communities can pool to buy a Terracycle Plastic Bag Recycling Box (from £100 to £160, the largest taking 1300 plastic bin bags).

This is placed in a local shop or community centre, then sent off when full using the prepaid label, to be made into industrial piping etc.
