SPECIFICATION LOGIC
Four decisions before quotation
Describe the real waste stream
State typical contents, moisture, free liquid, sharp edges, peak fill weight and how long the liner remains in service.
Agree the validation method
Define the wet-load, seal, puncture, lift and drop checks that the approved production sample must pass.
Match claims to the finished bag
Confirm formulation, gauge, colour, printing, certificate scope, permitted marks and local organics-facility acceptance before artwork release.
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.
- Actual bin dimensions, nominal capacity and required overhang
- Waste type, moisture, sharp-edge exposure, service time and lift method
- Target gauge, roll or flat pack, bag count, colour and artwork
- Destination market, required documents, annual quantity and delivery destination
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Heavy duty construction and validation features
30–60 μm heavy duty gauge options
Select film gauge against the actual waste density, moisture, sharp edges, holding time and lift method. Put the approved tolerance and thickness-test method in the signed specification.
Reinforced bottom seal and gusset
A broad heat-seal band and balanced gusset distribute the filled bag across the base. Validate seal width, weld consistency and wet-load performance on a production-representative sample.
Puncture and tear performance validation
Review film formulation, gauge and conversion settings together. Agree a repeatable probe, tear or drop method instead of relying on an undefined “puncture-proof” claim.
Wet-load containment testing
Test the exact liner with representative food scraps, moisture, fill weight and service time. The approved result applies to that construction and method; it is not a universal leak-proof promise.
Perforated rolls for fast changeovers
Consistent perforation and controlled roll tension support quick bag separation in busy kitchens, venues and collection points. Confirm dispenser fit, roll count and core specification.
Custom colour, pattern and OEM packaging
Coordinate bag colour, print coverage, repeating artwork, retail sleeves, roll count and master-carton marks. Recheck document scope before using any compostability mark on custom artwork.

CERTIFICATIONS
Verify four industrial-composting document routes
These names are procurement checkpoints, not blanket proof for every custom bag. Match the certificate holder, product identity, formulation, gauge range, colour, printing, validity and permitted mark to the finished SKU being quoted.
EN 13432
European packaging requirements for recovery through composting and biodegradation under controlled conditions. Confirm that the current evidence covers the finished bag construction and intended claim.
ASTM D6400
US specification used for plastics designed for aerobic composting in municipal or industrial facilities. Review the exact test report, sample identity, formulation and gauge scope.
BPI Certification
BPI is a third-party certification program that uses applicable ASTM criteria. Check the current product listing, certificate holder, licensed SKU and artwork-mark permission before purchase.
OK compost INDUSTRIAL
TÜV AUSTRIA’s industrial-composting conformity mark. Verify the current certificate number, validity, product description, thickness range, colour and printing coverage for ES-GB-05.
OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Select size, gauge, colour, one- or multi-colour print, repeating pattern, roll count, retail sleeve and export-carton marks. Recheck evidence scope before using any compostability mark on custom artwork.
FACTORY CAPABILITIES
Esinle OEM Capabilities
The selected format can be reviewed against these Guangzhou manufacturing capabilities. Final feasibility, tolerances and MOQ are confirmed in the approved specification.
Custom Dimensions
Width, gusset depth and length can be reviewed against your packaging-line requirements and converting limits.
Printing & Branding
Flexographic artwork, colour count, print coverage and plate requirements are checked before MOQ and pricing are confirmed.
In-House Compounding
PLA, PBAT and starch blend options are selected around flexibility, strength, processing and the documented claim required for the SKU.
BEHIND EVERY PRODUCT
Integrated production in Guangzhou
The workflow covers compounding, film blowing, printing and bag conversion, with the order specification used as the reference for in-process and final checks.
USE CASES
Applications for commercial organics collection
Commercial Kitchens & Food Courts
For wet vegetable prep, coffee grounds and mixed back-of-house organics where standard light-duty liners may stretch or split. Match gauge and seal testing to the actual shift length, moisture and carrying method.
Food Processing & Commissary Operations
Collect produce trim and other accepted organic by-products at preparation or conveyor stations. Confirm bin dimensions, contamination controls, changeover frequency and receiving-facility rules before rollout.
Stadiums, Festivals & Public Venues
Use a common heavy duty liner format across high-turnover waste stations. Validate outdoor handling, bin-rim fit, route distance and event-specific organics instructions with the facility operator.
Municipal & Institutional Organics Collection
Configure large liners for campuses, public facilities or contracted organics programs. A compostability certificate does not guarantee local acceptance, so obtain written approval from the receiving collector or facility.
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Heavy duty does not mean puncture-proof. Sharp metal, large glass shards, rigid bones, construction debris and exposed packaging corners can damage any flexible liner. Do not use for hazardous, medical, hot or free-liquid waste unless a separately approved construction and test program covers that application. Load and wet-holding performance vary with gauge, seal, contents, temperature and handling; approve a representative sample instead of publishing a universal kilogram or leak-time claim. Industrial-compostability evidence does not establish home composting, landfill breakdown or acceptance by every organics facility. Store sealed cartons in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, heat and excess humidity, and confirm shelf life in the order specification.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes ES-GB-05 a heavy duty compostable garbage bag?
The heavy duty starting range uses 30–60 μm film with a reinforced bottom seal and gusset. Actual performance depends on formulation, dimensions, gauge, seal settings, contents and handling, so approve an agreed test method before volume production.
Are 55 gallon compostable trash bags available?
Yes. Starting formats include nominal 13, 20, 33, 45 and 55 gallons. Send the actual bin rim, depth, height and required overhang because nominal gallon labels do not guarantee fit.
Are these bags puncture-proof or safe for broken glass?
No flexible compostable bag should be described as puncture-proof. The heavier gauge can be evaluated with an agreed puncture or drop test, but sharp glass, metal and construction debris should use rigid containment.
Are these heavy duty liners home compostable?
Do not infer home compostability from EN 13432, ASTM D6400, BPI or OK compost INDUSTRIAL evidence. Those routes address controlled industrial or municipal composting conditions. A home-compost claim requires separate finished-product evidence.
How should buyers verify the four certification references?
Request the current certificate, report or product listing and match the holder, product name, formulation, gauge range, colour, printing, validity and permitted mark to the quoted bag. Also confirm acceptance with the destination composting facility.
Can the terracotta colour and contour-leaf pattern be customized?
Yes. Colour, repeating artwork, print coverage, roll count, sleeve and carton marks can be customized after technical review. Custom printing may change the evidence scope, so certification-mark approval comes before plate making.
What are the MOQ and lead time?
They depend on dimensions, gauge, material, colour, printing, pack-out and annual volume. Send the complete brief for a configuration-specific quotation.
What information is needed for an accurate quote?
Provide bin dimensions, nominal capacity, contents, moisture, sharp-edge exposure, service time, lift method, target gauge, bag count, colour, artwork, destination market, required documents, annual quantity and delivery destination.
