Compost our postage satchels and garment bags. So, what is a compostable bag? Compostable stuff breaks down quickly and completely into basic things like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, just like other organic materials and won’t release any harmful residue or toxins.

1. Cut along the line of the consumer satchel flap to reuse the bag, if you can, using the second adhesive (glue) strip included. 
2. Once you’ve rinsed the last use out of the satchel and garment bags, remove any labels and pop those in the recycling bin.
3. Cut up the postage satchel and add this your home compost bin (not the recycling bins). Or, if you have one, the green council bin. 
4. If you don’t have a compost bin, go to Share Waste and find a neighbour willing to take your trash. 
5. Once composted, the HEROPACKs will break down and turn into…dramatic drum roll… fertiliser for the garden. This takes around 3-4 months.

Recycling is all about taking your stuff that is ready to be thrown out and converting them into new things.

1. Cut stickers and labels off
2. Set cardboard aside
3. Remove swing tags and twine
4. Pop them into your recycling bin

How often do you find yourself rummaging through your drawers for a safety pin? To hem your pants, button your jeans or pull a last minute fancy dress outfit together? Do yourself a favour, and hang on to our pins. 

1. Remove pin from swing tag and garment
