A kitchen compost caddy is a convenient way to temporarily collect fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and other organic kitchen waste. Discover all the benefits of the PRACTO Home kitchen composter, the perfect solution for an eco-friendly kitchen!

But how do you keep your caddy clean? 

With the PRACTO Home compostable paper bag, you can easily collect your organic waste without using a plastic bag. Sorting becomes simple again: collect your waste, close the bag and then place it in the organic waste bin together with its permitted contents.

What Should Not Go in the Organic Waste Bin?

Not all organic waste belongs in the organic waste bin. Some products can interfere with the processing process or belong in another waste stream. 

  • Liquids such as coffee, milk or soup
  • Sauces, fats and oils: dishes containing only a small amount of sauce may be allowed in the organic waste
  • Tea bags and coffee pods
  • Disposable nappies and other sanitary waste
  • Shells from mussels and oysters, for example
  • Bones, animal slaughter waste and dead animals
  • Manure from large pets
  • Cat litter and birdcage sand
  • Dust from vacuum cleaners
  • Charcoal and ash
  • Soil, sand or cork
  • Treated wood, large pruning waste and thick branches
  • Plastic - Glass - Metal 


What Can Go in the Organic Waste Bin?

Organic waste includes vegetable, fruit and garden waste. It consists of organic materials that can be biologically processed. The following types of waste can be sorted as organic waste:

  • Fruit, vegetable and potato peelings and scraps
  • Animal and plant-based kitchen waste and food scraps
  • Meat and fish scraps, and shellfish remains, except mussel and oyster shells
  • Solid dairy products, such as cheese scraps
  • Eggs and eggshells
  • Bread scraps
  • Nuts, stones and seeds
  • Tea leaves, coffee grounds and paper coffee filters
  • Fine garden and pruning waste, including grass
  • Indoor and garden plants
  • Wood shavings and sawdust from untreated wood
  • Manure from small pets, such as guinea pigs and rabbits
  • Kitchen paper 
  • Compostable Paper Bags (No Plastic!)

Please note: Exact sorting rules may vary locally. If in doubt, check the sorting guide provided by your local authority or waste management organisation.
