Product Information

This is because the sewer network is not suitable for this kind of waste, and Toxocara, also known as roundworm and often found in animal faeces, can survive the processing, despite the relatively high temperatures and harsh conditions. Degradable and biodegradable bags will break down in the environment over time, while compostable ones just get sent back into nature when disposed of by humans.
