Stupid new bags

[Evoluzione]

The bag a popular magazine comes in Which? advises us what to buy.

So where am I supposed to put it?
To me it does belong in a bin - the black one. It'll go into landfill and rot away over the years.

It doesn't go in the green bin as it's not recyclable.
It doesn't go on my compost heap as it takes years to compost.
It certainly doesn't go in the sea, that's just silly.

Here's a thing, stop being so stupid and just put it in a bloody paper envelope, it'll be gone in a year you pretentious muppets.

Does it definitely take years or is it suitable for home composting?

I'm in agreement with you. The IET switched to sturdy paper envelops a year or two back for their monthly magazine. Then it's easy, it goes in recycling with other paper.

Have you tried? The thin films that magazines come in break down pretty fast. Things like “compostable” coffee cups can take a lot longer.

Yes, they tested them on the link provided. The o/h used to put green kitchen waste in similar ones and onto the compost heap, years later I'd be using the compost on the garden and be pulling these things out and putting them in the bin!
Even the instructions on the bag are wrong, they're not recyclable so shouldn't go in that bin either.
