Towel disposal & recycling

Scrummi towels are plant-based and biodegradable (made from wood!). Sometimes the best option is to pop your used products into your general business waste. In the UK, EU, and most other countries, this means that your towels will go to an energy-from-waste facility where they will be cleanly burnt to generate clean energy.

Recycle them — and turn your waste into valuable compost!

The full Scrummi range is suitable for commercial composting alongside other non-food compostables such as food packaging, coffee cups etc. Scrummi is certified as commercially compostable to EN13432 standards by TÜV Austria.

We recommend the following providers as a convenient composting option:

Recorra
London & South East
Kerbside (Sacks/Wheelie Bins)

As a professional product, Scrummi towels have not been independently tested for home composting as it is not considered a practical end-of-life solution for most users. However, we do have customers who have told us that they take their used Scrummis home and throw them in their compost bin.

Give it a try!
