Product overview
Build the specification around the waste stream
A larger bag needs a clear operating brief. Describe the container, contents, fill level and collection routine so the proposed gauge and seal can be assessed on representative samples. Coordinate the liner dimensions, printing, pack count and applicable product documents before approving repeat supply.
Compostable liners and garbage bags for household, hospitality and commercial collection programs. Match the bin, waste stream and change cycle to the bag construction and pack-out.
Plan your sample reviewKey features
The details that
shape the product
Six points connect the selected format to its everyday use, finished pack and repeat supply.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
06
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.
Applications
Find your
working context
Choose the relevant operation and share its practical requirements with your inquiry.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
Certifications & product documents
The file behind
the finished format
Keep the specification, applicable certification and intended-use information connected to the product you order.
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
Match the current BPI product listing and mark to the selected finished construction and its commercial-only or commercial-and-home route. The listed product and route define the supported claim.
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.
Sample review

A useful sample represents the construction and use you plan to order. Share the benchmark and the observations that matter.
- 01
Set up
Fit the liner on the intended bin with the required cuff.
- 02
Run the task
Use representative contents and a defined fill, holding and removal method.
- 03
Approve the format
Approve gauge, closure, bag count and the collection instructions.
Use, handling & storage notes
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.

Product questions
Before your
first order
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.
