Household food waste recycling solution

Collaboration of bins with compostable bags

A Cardia Bioplastics and Sulo MGB (Australia) collaboration is providing a household food waste recycling solution. Cardia will supply certified compostable bags enabling Sulo to provide a fully integrated organic waste diversion service to local governments.

Sulo Director of Sales and Marketing John Kernahan said the Sulo kitchen tidy bin and Cardia compostable bag combination makes collection and disposal of household organic waste easier and more efficient.

Increasing numbers of councils in Australia offer a ‘kitchen to compost’ service, with the aim of diverting organic waste from landfill. Cardia Bioplastics Managing Director Dr Frank Glatz said recycling organic waste is vital if we are serious about reducing our environmental footprint and managing household waste sustainably. “This organic waste system is tailored to meet domestic needs for form, fit and function,” he said.

“The open design kitchen tidy bin works together with the breathability of Cardia’s compostable bag to aerate the food waste. This aerobic environment mitigates odours and complements the design of the bins. The breathability of the Cardia compostable bag also allows water vapour transmission from the organic waste during storage and transport. This reduces weight and waste management costs,” said Dr Glatz.

The Cardia Bioplastics range of compostable bags is manufactured from renewable resources and the bags are compliant to international standards, including Europe’s EN 13432, the USA’s ASTM D 6400, Japan’s GreenPla and Australia’s AS 4736.
