SWMBO was just about to buy some biodegradable poly bags to use in the
little kitchen recyc bin but the ones on ebay (carrier size) take a
massive
3 years to rot down. Has anybody a source for the smaller 20x20 x26 cm
bins
that do rot more quickly ? Or is it possible that the increased heat in
the
heap might accelerate the process?


Kitchen caddy liners made of starch - designed for composting.

Thank Alan it was the caddy part was eludeing me that made it simple I
found http://www.biobags.co.uk/index.htm they seem competitive and good
enough for the kitchen bin I supposed I should have guessed there is a Euro
standard for degradeable bags.
Thanks again and happy new year
