SPECIFICATION LOGIC
Four decisions before quotation
Test film and base seam
Use the 18–40 μm sourcing range and 20 μm listed option only to select samples. Fill a representative bag with real scraps and inspect opening, seam integrity, changeover and storage interval.
Keep the OEM color disciplined
The graphite-grey film and subtle sage-grey wave are a proposed design. Validate actual color, ink registration, visual fit and document scope on a production-representative sample before printing.
Verify carton and disposal route
Confirm bags per sleeve and cartons on the final packing list. Ask the receiving organics processor whether it accepts both the used liner and its contents; never put the bag in conventional film recycling.
FASTER RFQ
Prepare these four inputs
Complete inputs reduce back-and-forth and help us match the sample, evidence and commercial quote to one defined construction.
- Bin rim, depth, cuff foldover and standard versus tall length
- Actual food scraps, handling routine, service interval and gauge sample
- Destination program, finished-item evidence, color and print scope
- Bag and carton quantities, annual demand, artwork and delivery point
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Six details to settle before a 15-gallon order
Select film gauge by the actual contents
Review the listed 18–40 μm range and 20 μm starting option against food scraps, bin dwell time and lift routine. A photographed sample cannot demonstrate a specific film thickness or carrying rating.
Inspect the gathered base seal
Check the radial bottom folds and heat seal on production-representative bags. Test handling with actual loads before making puncture, tear or liquid-resistance claims.
Compare standard and tall fit
Two listed lengths share a 24 in width reference. Check rim width, depth and cuff allowance on the target bins; a nominal 15-gallon label alone cannot establish universal compatibility.
Review color and private-label print
The fine sage wave and graphite film differentiate an illustrative OEM option. Approve pigment, ink, print location and any certification wording against the exact final bag and artwork.
Keep organics separate from recycling
Use the selected 15-gallon liner only in an organics collection stream that accepts it, with approved contents and clear staff instructions. Keep recyclable cans and conventional films in their separate streams.
Set sample and converting checks
Record acceptable gauge range, dimensions, opening, base-seal quality, print placement and pack count. The pictured workshop is an illustration of a review step, not a verified production record.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CERTIFICATIONS
Four evidence checks for a finished 15-gallon liner
These four headings are buyer document checks, not four certifications established for the pictured grey bag. Ask for the certificate holder, item scope, validity and permitted artwork, then separately confirm the receiving compost program accepts this liner and its contents.
ASTM D6400 — industrial route evidence
Request a current report or certificate covering the actual finished 15-gallon bag, film blend, gauge, pigment and print. ASTM D6400 concerns managed municipal or industrial aerobic composting; it does not establish home-compost suitability or acceptance by a local collector.
BPI — licensed finished item and intended use
If BPI certification or a mark is proposed, first check eligibility for a food-scrap collection liner. Match the seller, exact item, approved artwork and licence or private-label permission in the BPI certified-product catalog before printing a mark.
EN 13432 — EU finished-bag scope
For an EU industrial-compostability claim, ask for current evidence that explicitly includes the finished bag, bottom seam, color, print and selected thickness. Review certificate validity and the permitted mark separately; an ASTM D6400 reference alone is insufficient.
OK compost HOME — separate variant check
Make a home-compost claim only if a separate current licence covers this exact printed and colored finished bag and its maximum thickness. The graphite concept shown here has not been verified as a certified home-compostable item.
OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Select standard or tall length, film gauge, open-top and bottom-seal construction, stock or custom film color, restrained OEM rim artwork and pack configuration. Drawstring construction is a separately specified format, not part of the open-top bag shown. Match any ink, pigment, gauge and printed claim with the exact finished-item evidence before mass production.

USE CASES
Four 15-gallon organics-collection settings
Home kitchen food scraps
Fit a correctly sized kitchen organics bin for vegetable offcuts and coffee filters. Check local food-scrap program acceptance for compostable liners and limit prolonged storage or pooling liquid until the chosen gauge is tested.
Office breakroom collection
Line a shared 15-gallon bin for permitted food scraps while keeping containers and cans in a separate recycling receptacle. Set a changeover schedule and clear on-site instructions for staff.
Campus dining prep areas
Place a fitted liner at a managed food-prep collection station for permitted produce trimmings. Confirm the processor accepts the finished bag and define staff handling, fill level and replacement frequency.
Facility and janitorial replenishment
Standardize an approved 15-gallon bin type, sample size and pack count across multiple sites. Give the facility team a physical sample, packing list and the exact item-specific disposal wording.
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Nominal gallon capacity and rendered product photos do not prove bag fit, a carrying-weight rating, puncture resistance, leakproofness or suitability for mixed waste. Test the selected gauge and bottom seam against real scraps, moisture, storage duration and handling. The previous carton number is unverified. Graphite color and sage-grey print are an OEM visual proposal, not a confirmed stocked or certified SKU. Food-soiled compostable liners must follow the receiving collection program rules and should not be mixed with conventional film recycling.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between standard and tall 15-gallon liners?
The current sourcing references are 24 × 27 in standard and 24 × 31 in tall, both nominal 15-gallon formats. Measure each target bin opening and depth, then allow enough film to fold over the rim; ask for samples before ordering.
Is the graphite-grey bag shown a stocked or certified color?
It is an illustrative OEM concept with a restrained printed wave. Existing information lists several colors, but no current certificate, available stock or exact pigment and ink approval has been supplied for this pictured construction.
Is this the same as a drawstring compostable trash bag?
No. The pictured ES-GB-03 configuration is a flat open-top liner with no drawstring or handles. If a drawstring is required, request a separate bag construction, quote, physical sample and matching evidence.
Can these 15-gallon bags go in any compost collection?
No. Acceptance depends on the actual finished bag, certificate or mark scope, local program rules and what is inside the bag. Contact the receiving collector or processor before writing disposal directions.
Are these home compostable or ASTM D6400 certified?
ASTM D6400 addresses managed municipal or industrial aerobic composting and cannot establish a home-compost claim. Request current evidence covering the exact finished item for either claim; the four document checks below are not four verified certifications for the illustrated bag.
What thickness and load rating can I specify?
The sourcing reference lists 18–40 μm, with 20 μm as a standard starting point. There is no independently supplied load test for the selected printed variant. Test the chosen gauge, seam and real waste under a documented handling method before stating a carrying limit.
How many bags are in a pack or wholesale carton?
The former listing uses 50 bags per pack, but the master-carton quantity needs checking against a current packing list. Confirm bag count, sleeve format, case size, gross weight and pallet plan in a written quote.
What information speeds up an OEM or wholesale quote?
Provide standard or tall target dimensions, bin model, actual scraps, film gauge, bag and case counts, film color, print artwork, annual quantity, destination market, requested documents and delivery point. Ask for a matching physical sample.
