Waste Not
Make the most of what we’ve got
The time for wasting the Earth’s resources has passed. That’s why we only make products that reduce, reuse or recycle materials.
Given the choice, we’d all love to help our planet to provide us with somewhere to live long after we ourselves are gone. By buying Waste Not products, you’re not changing the world, but you are doing a little bit towards making it a greener place.
We’re very confident that all of our products are the best in their class, so there’s no compromise on quality – or your money back.
Products
Naturally smart
Reduce
Use our new Fresha bags and significantly reduce the amount of food waste you throw away.
Fresha bags are a revolutionary new simple zip-lock storage bag that will keep fruit, vegetables and bakery goods fresh for at least 25% longer than standard storage bags.
Compostable
Reuse
Fill our compostable bags with organic kitchen and garden waste and compost them at home or in your local collection scheme.
They are made from renewable vegetable starch, and even the outer packaging is compostable so that every bit breaks down to land-nourishing compost.

These bags are made from 100% British, recycled materials, in Britain. And our special sealing means they can hold more than most.
So, all in all, these bags are good for you and for our planet.

The Waste Not Family
“We don't see waste as waste, and you shouldn't either. We apply this ethos to eveything we do: manufacturing our bags with as little impact on the environment as possible; developing schools packs to help teach recycling in schools; and planting trees for all the Waste Not bags we manufacture.”

Planting trees
Globally, people are using about 25% more natural resources than the planet can replace. In partnership with Tree Appeal, we are helping to replace the UK’s lost woodlands. For example, we plant one tree for every 500 rolls of Compostable Bags or Recycled Refuse sacks we manufacture.
These trees complete the cycle that our compostable products start when they are composted back to the planet, and they provide valuable wildlife habitats and a greener world for generations to come.
We are promoting the Tree Appeal in schools, and developing learning tools that help children understand the benefits of composting, recycling and the value of trees. The Tree Appeal's initiatives are supported by David Bellamy and helps responsible companies give back to the environment by planting native broad-leaf trees throughout the UK.
