At Thorntons Recycling, we’re passionate about making waste management more sustainable and more accessible for everyone. As Ireland continues to embrace greener living, the small decisions we make every day, like the type of bin bag we use, can have a big impact on our environment. That’s why we’re excited to talk about the growing importance of compostable bags and share how our partnership with Hope Eco is helping our customers make eco-friendly choices with a little extra reward!

Why Choose Compostable Bags?

Compostable bags are designed to break down naturally in composting conditions, turning into nutrient-rich material that benefits the soil. Unlike traditional plastic bags, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, compostable bags:

• Decompose within weeks in industrial composting facilities.
• Leave no harmful residues behind—just water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter.
• Support cleaner composting, especially when used for food and organic waste bins.

Using compostable bags is a simple but powerful way to reduce plastic pollution and ensure your organic waste is being properly processed. For those using brown bins, compostable liners make cleanup easier and help keep bins fresh—all while staying compliant with waste regulations.
