Further to customer feedback and our recent packaging trial, we are excited to announce that we will now be packing all our lovely greens in a new packaging bag made from the Thistle plant, which is fully biodegradable and home-compostable.
This means the bag can be disposed of in your normal landfill waste or food waste bin – it will degrade in 12-14 days in industrial sites. You could even use the bags instead of your usual caddy liner!
If you compost at home you can also dispose of it this way and the bags will take approximately 8-12 weeks to degrade.
If you are a VegBox customer of our let us know what you think by emailing vegbox@suttoncommunityfarm. org.uk.
