I had bought some compostable liners from the supermarket and had a host of problems. Firstly they would start to breakdown and develop holes with the slightest bit of moisture, a bit of an issue with a product designed for collecting food waste. Also it was very easy to put a finger through them even when just changing the liner in my caddy. Since buying these liners i can safely say that no such issues have been apparent. The liners are thicker and just generally of a much better quality. All in all a great product and will definitely be calling back when i need some more.
