Why specify ES-GB-07
What it is
ES-GB-07 is our 4-gallon small drawstring bag — specified for larger bathrooms, nurseries, home offices, and under-sink cabinets where standard 2.6-gal bags are too small and 13-gal kitchen bags are oversized. The drawstring closure makes it the preferred choice for wet diaper disposal, bathroom waste, and any application where secure closure matters.
Key differentiator
The differentiator is the intermediate size. At 4 gallons with an 18 μm reinforced star-seal bottom, ES-GB-07 handles up to 3 kg of household waste — more than double the capacity of a desktop bag. The drawstring is made from the same PLA+PBAT compound as the bag body, certifying as one unit under EN 13432 and ASTM D6400. No component separation required. Nothing to explain to the composting facility.
Where it fits in your range
Where it sits in our range. ES-GB-07 fills the size gap between ES-GB-04 (2.6 gal drawstring) and ES-GB-06 (13 gal drawstring). It runs approximately 10–12 % more per unit than ES-GB-04 — the premium covers the slightly larger format and heavier gauge. It is ordered most often by nurseries, senior-care facilities, and hospitality distribution companies.
When NOT to specify
When not to specify it. If the 4-gallon size is not a requirement and the application fits a 2.6-gallon bin, ES-GB-04 does the same job at a lower per-unit cost. If you are buying for a kitchen environment where wet food waste is common, ES-GB-06 (13-gal drawstring) or ES-GB-08 (heavy-duty) provide a more suitable gauge.
Maximum recommended load of 3 kg at 18μm gauge. Not rated for liquid containment beyond incidental moisture — do not use for standing liquid waste.

Applications
Nursery & Diaper Disposal
The ideal size for diaper pails and nursery waste bins — drawstring contains odors and enables hygienic disposal
Larger Bathrooms & Powder Rooms
Bins that outgrow 2.6-gallon bags but don't need full kitchen-size liners — perfect intermediate solution
Home Office & Craft Rooms
Paper-heavy waste streams that benefit from a secure closure for transport to recycling or composting collection
Limitations & Storage
Maximum recommended load of 3 kg at 18μm gauge. Not rated for liquid containment beyond incidental moisture — do not use for standing liquid waste. Drawstring rated to 3 kg carrying weight. For heavy nursery use (daycare settings, multiple children), consider 20μm+ gauge upgrade. Store in sealed packaging away from humidity.
Sustainability
ASTM D6400 and OK Compost HOME certified — including drawstring. Degrades in 12 months home compost or 90–180 days industrial. The intermediate 4-gallon size helps prevent bag waste: users can choose a bag that actually fits their bin rather than using an oversized 13-gallon bag for a small bin, reducing material consumption by approximately 60% per use.
Frequently asked questions
How do these compare to your 2.6-gallon drawstring bags?
The 4-gallon bags are approximately 30% larger by volume, making them suitable for bins that the 2.6-gallon size cannot fully line. Construction is identical (18μm gauge, PLA+PBAT drawstring, star-seal bottom), just scaled up. Choose based on your bin size: 2.6 gal for desktop/small bathroom bins, 4 gal for larger bathroom, nursery, and home office bins.
Are these strong enough for diaper disposal?
Yes. The star-seal bottom and 18μm gauge handle typical diaper pail loads of 1–2 kg without issue. We recommend cinching the drawstring after each disposal session to contain odors, and emptying the pail every 2–3 days. For high-volume diaper use (daycare, multiples), consider upgrading to our 20μm+ gauge option.
What certifications cover the nursery-safe claim?
Our bags are tested to FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for incidental food contact, are BPA-free per EU 10/2011, phthalate-free per CPSIA, and PFAS-free per EPA Method 537. SGS heavy metals testing (less than 90 days old) is included with every shipment. Full test reports available in our distributor portal.
