CERTIFIED HOME COMPOSTABLE BAGS
CHECK YOUR COUNCIL
Our wet pack bags keep the stems on your bouquets moist until they can be recut and placed into fresh water, which should be done immediately upon receiving your flowers.
These bags are made in Australia and are certified home compostable to Australian standards AS5810 (home compostable) and AS4736 (commercial compostable).
They will break down into organic matter, and can be safely added to your compost. Breaking it into small pieces will help speed up the process.
Some Melbourne councils even accept these in your FOGO (Food Organics, Garden Organics) bins.
