Compost trials have shown that Econic® bags can break down into small fragments in as little as 15 weeks.
Tip - cutting the bag down into smaller pieces before putting in your compost allows it to break down quicker. Our labels are also 100% home compostable so you do no need to remove them prior to composting.
Learn more in our Interview with Owen Embling, owner of Econic Pack where we source our bags.

If a product's packaging says compostable, is it really home compostable?
