Start with a real caddy
Measure the rim, inner depth and desired fold-over before approving the bag width, length and bottom-seal geometry. Capacity labels alone do not guarantee a good fit.

SPECIFICATION LOGIC
Four decisions before quotation
Validate the wet-scrap workflow
Define the type of food waste, fill weight, collection interval and storage conditions; then test seal strength and seepage with a production-representative liner.
Select the right disposal route
ES-FB-05 targets a managed industrial-composting pathway. Confirm that the local collector accepts certified liners and keep home-compostable wording for a separately evidenced home-compost SKU.
Approve the complete order
Lock gauge, perforation, roll count, colours, artwork, permitted marks, carton labels, documentation and batch traceability before releasing production.
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 caddy opening, depth, target capacity and bag closure routine
- Food-scrap mix, wet-load target, holding interval and collector acceptance
- Destination market, current industrial-compostability evidence and mark use
- Roll count, colour, artwork, carton quantity, annual volume and delivery point
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Food-waste liner performance and sourcing options
Seal strength for the target load
Select bottom-seal construction and 16–25 μm starting gauge around the expected wet-scrap weight. Ask for the test method and repeat the lift-and-carry check with your real caddy and contents.
PLA/PBAT/starch film by SKU
Review material blend, gauge tolerance, colour and film feel against the finished liner sample. Resin identity by itself does not determine a bag’s composting claim or wet-waste performance.
Industrial-composting evidence
Match ASTM D6400, EN 13432, BPI or OK compost INDUSTRIAL documents to the exact finished bag and destination market. Confirm local collection acceptance before writing disposal instructions.
Roll packs for retail or programs
Specify perforation and bags per roll, then choose paper bands, kraft retail cartons or bulk supply cartons for household distribution and replenishment.
Private-label food caddy bags
Coordinate size names, colour, program instructions and custom artwork. Inks, print coverage and certification-mark use must be reviewed before printing.
Batch-level converting checks
Approve practical controls for bag dimensions, film gauge, perforation, roll winding and bottom seal; request a production sample and traceability records before volume rollout.

CERTIFICATIONS
Four checks for industrial compostability claims
These are four procurement checks for the ES-FB-05 evidence pack, not four independent claims of certification. Request current documents for the exact finished bag before printing marks or publishing approval language.
ASTM D6400 — US industrial composting
Request a current finished-bag test report or certificate and verify the holder, product name, formulation, gauge, colour, printing, validity and covered disposal route. A material certificate alone does not establish the claim for the printed caddy liner.
BPI — third-party program review
For North American distribution, request the current BPI listing or licence for the exact finished product and check whether the proposed carton and bag artwork may display the mark. Confirm local organics-collector acceptance separately.
EN 13432 — European packaging standard
For EU procurement, review current EN 13432 evidence covering biodegradation, disintegration and compost quality for the quoted construction. Check the tested thickness and any changes to colour, ink or components.
OK compost INDUSTRIAL — mark scope
If using the TÜV AUSTRIA mark, verify the current certificate number, holder, validity and finished-product scope, then approve mark artwork. Industrial compostability is not a home-compostability claim.
OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Specify the caddy rim and depth, target fill weight, liner width and length, bottom-seal construction, 16–25 μm starting gauge, perforation, bags per roll, film colour, artwork and carton format. For private-label compostable food caddy bags, approve print coverage, inks, resident instructions, certification-mark permissions and the exact finished-SKU evidence before commercial production.
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
Where compostable food-waste bags fit
Home kitchens and countertop caddies
Line a 5–10 L food-scrap caddy for vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and other locally accepted organics. Check the bag’s rim fit and replacement routine; follow the industrial collection route approved by the local program.
Commercial kitchens and food prep
Collect moderate vegetable trimmings at prep stations before transferring them to the site’s organics stream. Validate wet-load, seal, holding time and collector requirements; use a larger liner where the station exceeds the caddy-bag specification.
Office pantries and shared kitchens
Provide tidy small-bin liners beside coffee or snack stations with clear accepted-material instructions. Match roll replenishment, bin capacity and change frequency to the site’s collection contractor.
Community food-waste collection
Supply compact rolls in starter kits or replenish residents through local organics programs. Approve program-wide caddy sizes, printed instructions, industrial-composting evidence and receiving-facility acceptance before rollout.
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
This small-caddy format is intended for moderate food-scrap loads, not free liquids, hot contents, sharp bones or shells, general refuse or heavy garden waste. Wet holding and lift performance depend on the specified film, seal, load and temperature; validate your routine with an approved sample. Industrial-compostability evidence does not prove home-composting suitability or acceptance by every organics facility. Keep unused rolls sealed, cool and dry, away from direct heat and sunlight; confirm shelf life in the order specification.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are these compostable food caddy bags home compostable?
ES-FB-05 is specified for a managed industrial-composting route. Do not describe it as home compostable based on ASTM D6400 or EN 13432 evidence. For a home-composting program, review the separately specified ES-FB-04 format and its current finished-SKU evidence.
What sizes and film gauges are available?
The starting range covers 5 L, 7 L, 10 L and 25 L caddies at 16–25 μm. Measure your actual caddy opening and depth; then confirm bag dimensions, seal design and tolerances in the approved sample.
How long can wet food scraps stay in the liner?
A universal holding-time or leak-proof promise would be misleading. Performance changes with film gauge, temperature, free liquid, sharp scraps, fill weight and caddy ventilation. Tell us your routine so the selected construction can be tested.
Does the BPI or OK compost mark cover custom printing?
Only if the current certificate or licence covers the finished formulation, dimensions or gauge range, colour and printing being quoted, and permits the mark’s use on your artwork. Request the scope and written approval before going to press.
Can we order custom-printed caddy bag rolls?
Yes. Share caddy dimensions, target load, roll count, film colour, artwork, program instructions, annual volume and market. We will review print feasibility, MOQ, carton configuration and document scope together.
Will my local organics program accept the bags?
Facility and municipal rules vary. Send the collection operator’s accepted-material policy and destination market. Even a current industrial-compostability certificate does not automatically make a liner acceptable in every local program.
What should a buyer request with the quotation?
Ask for a production-representative sample, dimension and gauge specification, wet-scrap and seal-test method, current compostability documentation for the finished SKU, approved mark wording, packing list, MOQ and lead time.
