What are eco-bags made from?
Biodegradable Copolymer + PLA derived from corn starch and sugar cane. So it is totally compostable. “Keeping our planet free from plastic bags”.
Are the bags recyclable?
eco-Bags from Go Sweet Spot are home and commercially compostable, bio-plastic is not recyclable so do not place these in your recycling bin.
Compost them – How long will they take to breakdown?
These will breakdown within 3 months in the most ideal conditions. Home compost may take longer to fully breakdown, with 90% of the material degraded within 6 months. The remaining material is converted to water and organic matter.
Can they go into a Landfill?
This is not the preferred destination because there is no guarantee of the appropriate conditions for the eco-Bags to fully breakdown.
Now that NZ is moving from Level 4 to 3, as at midnight on the 27th April, this is good news for Littleducks product lovers and previous orderers. We will be shipping first thing on 28th April. I do believe there may be delays with couriers being in-undated, but your tracking information will be emailed to you and you will be able to follow along with where your parcel is at. Orders will be sent in the order that they were received. Thank you to all those who have waited patiently.
Many New Zealand businesses are now open online and processing and sending orders of essential products including children’s water proof gear.
We are definitely still open for orders, but the Littleducks team have made the decision not to send orders while we are at alert level 4. We would rather leave the couriers to transport “truly essential goods” only and we hope that by reducing the number of parcels being transported around NZ, and less people moving about, we can get out of this lockdown sooner rather than later.
We do appreciate your support of small businesses like ours, so please use the code COVIDFREE (excludes sale items) at checkout for “free shipping” until the end of April 2020. Any orders will be sent as soon as we are out of lockdown.
Thank you for your understanding.
