Sewell on the go stores introduce compostable carriers

The compostable carriers used carry the ‘seedling’ logo, are tested to EN13432, and are made from potato starch, meaning they break down at the same rate as food and garden waste. The ‘seedling’ logo ensures that the bags are home compostable and can also be used as food waste caddy bags.

Patrick Sewell, managing director of Sewell on the go, said: “It’s important that all businesses are focusing on making themselves more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

“This is an appropriate step for us, but just one of many in terms of doing the right thing for us, our local community and the planet.”

Earlier this year, Sewell on the go, was recognised in the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity. The award celebrates the retailer’s contribution to the region through employing local people and investing in developing talent, as well as giving back to communities and charity groups.
