As part of DEFRA’s upcoming ‘Simpler Recycling’ reforms, all local authorities in England will be required to provide kerbside food waste collections by 2026. With this mandate fast approaching, councils and waste management providers are preparing by sourcing practical, compliant, and cost-effective solutions.
To help meet this growing demand, Cromwell Polythene has expanded its product range and proudly introduces new polythene food caddy liners — launching in 2025. These liners offer a durable, easy-to-use, and innovative alternative to traditional compostable liners, designed specifically to support the next phase of food waste collection services.
The New Polythene Liners
These liners are designed specifically to help reduce contamination, withstand tough handling, and provide a more consistent and reliable option for food waste capture. Made using recycled content to allow for PPT compliance, Cromwell’s polythene food caddy liners support circular economy goals while minimising the risk of breakdown issues associated with compostables in some Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants.
They are an ideal alternative to compostable liners, and are made with the same exceptional standards that you come to expect from waste experts Cromwell, whom have provided the industry with quality solutions for 4 decades.
Cromwell Polythene: Supporting LARAC and Local Authority Waste Services
Leeds-based Cromwell Polythene is proud to be a long-standing partner of LARAC (Local Authority Recycling Advisory Committee), continuing to support their vital work with local authority recycling and waste teams across the UK. As part of this partnership, Cromwell regularly participates in LARAC’s exhibition and networking opportunities — showcasing both their award-winning waste management products and latest innovations.
Cromwell will be exhibiting at the LARAC Wales Conference on July 8th, where visitors can explore their full range of products, including the new polythene food caddy liners, a modern alternative to compostable options. These will also be featured at the annual LARAC Conference in October, alongside Cromwell’s wider selection of polythene and compostable waste liners.
