The Compostar Effect: Your Yearly Impact

A car overgrown with nature, representing the 500kg of CO2 emissions saved by using Compostar compostable bin liners instead of landfilling food waste.

500kg CO2-e Saved

By composting food scraps instead of landfilling them, you stop methane emissions. That's equivalent to taking a petrol car off the road for 2 months.

Hands holding nutrient-rich compost soil transformed from kitchen scraps, illustrating 300kg of waste diverted from Australian landfills per household.

Who We Are

G'day! We are the team behind Compostar, based right here in Australia.

Like you, we were frustrated with the daily struggle of kitchen waste. We got tired of flimsy eco bin bags that leaked on the way to the kerb, and "green" products that turned out to be full of hidden plastics.

So, we decided to fix it. We combined 20+ years of manufacturing expertise with a passion for our local environment to create the ultimate Leak-Proof bin liner.

FAQ about our Paper Liners

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I put these bags in my council green bin?

Yes. Our bags are certified under AS 4736, making them approved Organics Bin Liners suitable for council bins across Australia (especially NSW and VIC). They are fully compliant FOGO Bin Liners, ensuring they break down properly in commercial composting facilities.

How can paper bags be leak-proof with wet food waste?

Our bags use special Reinforced Kraft Paper that is designed to be breathable. Unlike plastic that traps liquid (creating "bin juice"), our paper allows moisture to evaporate.
