Compostable vs Biodegradable: Why the Difference Matters

The terms "compostable" and "biodegradable" are often used interchangeably, but they do not mean the same thing. Biodegradable generally describes a material that can break down over time, but does not by itself specify the conditions, timeframe or suitability for composting.

For commercial composting and FOGO applications, look for the relevant certification and acceptance requirements. In Australia, AS 4736 is the standard commonly associated with compostable plastics suitable for industrial composting conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are compostable bin liners the same as biodegradable bags?

No. Biodegradable describes a material's ability to break down over time, but does not necessarily specify a timeframe, composting conditions or certification. Compostable liners that meet the relevant Australian compostability requirements are designed to break down under specified composting conditions.

Can compostable bin liners go in council FOGO or organics bins?

Acceptance varies between councils and FOGO programs. If a liner is certified to AS 4736 and displays the appropriate certification mark, check your local council's current accepted-items list before placing it in a FOGO or organics collection bin.

Will compostable liners hold up under wet food waste?

Compostable liners are designed for normal food and organic waste handling, including typical wet food scraps. They should not be used for prolonged storage of wet waste. For best performance, empty the liner regularly and store unused liners in a cool, dry place.

Do you supply compostable liners in bulk for hospitality or aged care?

Yes. Eve Zone supplies compostable liners to hospitality venues, aged care facilities and workplaces operating organics waste programs, with bulk cartons available for commercial requirements.
