@pigreen1 @kfreegard @CIWM Hello! From our experience, most "compostable" packaging can only break down in industrial in vessel composting systems as the heat from home composting simply isn't enough to break down the bonds in the material.

Please clap for the NHS, but don’t buy and release sky lanterns - they are floating bin fires. 🔥The last thing emergency services need to be dealing with during dry weather 🔥

Saw this wonderful comment on FB on the ‘Give or Take’ boxes which warmed our hearts. Lots of doubters & ‘that will never work’ - now 15,000 reaches on FB and countless donations. The #community are sharing #kindness @GillGMcCaw @guildy35 @CEPKCKarenReid @zerowasteperth

Replacing one #SingleUse item for another isn’t an improvement. We need to look at where we can reduce the volume of packaging and promote reuse, rather than simply substituting plastic for another material. BBC News: ow.ly/MJFr50xR1W2
