Bags & Liners
The last thing a customer touches on the way out, and the first thing that fails if it is under-specified. A bag that splits in a car park is remembered longer than the meal.
Kraft paper bags for takeaway and retail, SOS or handled. Compostable PLA liners and carry bags where the whole thing goes into a green bin with its contents still inside. And heavy-duty HDPE t-shirt bags and trash can liners, gauged to be reused rather than binned after one trip.

Where the film actually goes
Polyethylene film, carry bags and bin liners, is recyclable, but almost never through kerbside collection. Soft film wraps around the sorting machinery at recycling facilities and jams it, which is why most councils exclude it.
It goes to store drop-off collection instead: the bins at the entrance of most large supermarkets. Clean and dry film only. We say this plainly on every HDPE and LDPE page because telling a customer something is recyclable, without telling them where, is how contaminated recycling streams happen.

Hosting? There is a pack for that.
Everything for 25 to 150 guests in one box, and in our Premium packs the bin liner composts too, so there is nothing to sort afterwards.
