Does my tea bag contain plastic?

Ringtons were not content with this and, since August 2019, they have been testing a new environmentally conscious tea bag material on a trial basis. The tea bags passed all the stringent tests. The new material (PLA) contains a bio-plastic which has been made from plants. Please note: the Decaffeinated Traidcraft Breakfast Blend Blend tea bags are not bio plastic.
In July 2022, Traidcraft rolled out the new tea bags with bio-based plastic in our popular range of Traidcraft tea bags with one exception (above).
