Undated handout photo issued by The Co-Operative of their compostable carrier bags which shoppers can use to carry home their groceries and then as liners for their food waste bins. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Wednesday January 15, 2014. The bags, which cost 6p each, are strong enough to carry shopping including heavy items such as milk and potatoes. But they are made of natural materials, which mean they can be turned into compost along with food waste, and have been approved for use as waste food caddy liners, the Co-operative said.
