Should I use liners in both of my Caddies?

We would certainly recommend lining your Kitchen Caddy. The main advantage of using a liner being hygiene, it helps keep the caddy cleaner and combat food odours and flies while collecting your food waste. You could of course line both or just the outside Kerbside Caddy.

This is how we would rate the effective hygienic value based on liner usage:

Both Kitchen and Kerbside Caddy Liners
Kitchen Caddy Liner only
Kerbside Caddy Liner only
No liner in either caddy

All our caddy liner bags are certified compostable and biodegradable according to the European standard for compostable packaging; EN 13432 and carry the compostable seedling logo.

The materials used are easily compostable and biodegradable to water, CO2 and residual organic carbon (compost), leaving no harmful residues. Most importantly they do not contaminate the environment.
