You can read a bit more about why we don’t use those terms below.

Our tea experts taste brew after brew to make sure it's always perfect. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Yorkshire, Yorkshire Souvenir, Hand Painted Originals, Wall Art, A4 Prints, Wall Decor, Home Decor, Art Prints, Birthday Gifts, Unique Gifts PLA is a newer form of plastic, made from plants (like cornstarch) instead of fossil fuels, which can be industrially composted by local councils. It’s the material that most of the UK tea industry is switching to or has already switched to. Pop these plant-based tea bags in your food or garden waste bin for council composting. Please recycle the cardboard box too.Then we called in Sheffield University, who helped us study the tea bag paper. We used what we learned to work with the supplier to redevelop it.

If you’re willing to, you can snip open your used tea bags and compost the tea inside at home; otherwise, please put your tea bags in your refuse bin. What else is a tea bag made from?

WRAP UK doesn’t recommend home composting and we haven’t yet seen any good studies showing that this PLA part will break down in the sort of time gardeners would think is reasonable. The conditions on home compost heaps just don’t seem quite right – UK temperatures don’t get hot enough to fully compost our tea bags. The Government is working on timings for all councils to collect food waste and we expect most households to have these by 2025 at the latest. Until then, sadly not everyone will be able to compost our PLA tea bags. Like a lot of new materials created to replace the less sustainable stuff we’ve all relied on for ages, PLA’s far from perfect.

Composting generally involves the sort of big composting facility (known as “industrial composting”) that councils use for food waste and garden waste. Things were going great again, and then the pandemic hit. Covid has brought big changes for factories, and keeping our staff distanced meant keeping production simple. You’ll have seen pictures of panic buying and empty shelves, and it was really all we could do to keep tea flowing out the door fast enough to get it to people.Firefighter / Fireman / Firewoman, Fire Dept. Logo, Maltese Cross 911 Hero Coffee / Tea Mug (11 or 15oz) - Beautiful Quality Gift Idea When we say our tea's proper, we mean it's really good quality and it's kind to people and planet. And, perhaps most importantly, it always tastes lovely. If you don’t have either of these, you can snip open your used tea bags, compost the tea inside at home, and put the bag itself in your refuse bin. If you don’t want to do that, the alternative is to put your tea bag in your refuse bin. They can go in kerbside garden waste or food waste bins, to go off for industrial composting by your local council.
