HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
The 16-micron gauge is optimized for cost and carbon footprint rather than maximum durability. For loads consistently above 8 lbs or sharp-edged contents, upgrade to the ES-SB-01 (22 micron) or ES-SB-04 (25 micron) models.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the dispenser carton itself compostable?
Yes — the carton is made from FSC-certified kraft paper with soy-based ink printing. It can be recycled or industrially composted along with any bag scraps.
What is the minimum shelf life for bulk orders?
We guarantee 12 months from the date of delivery when stored under recommended conditions (cool, dry, away from direct sunlight). Inventory rotation is recommended for high-volume purchasers.
Can the die-cut handle support heavier items than the rated 8 lbs?
The 8 lb rating is conservative and accounts for dynamic loading (carrying, swinging). Static load testing shows no failure below 14 lbs. However, sustained loads above 8 lbs may cause handle elongation over time.
