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.

Product overview
Choose the liner from the caddy outward
A stated litre size is a useful starting point, while the rim, base and bag overhang determine the actual fit. Review the liner under the expected moisture and handling conditions. Align the approved bag dimensions, perforation, pack count and disposal wording with the way the collection program operates.
Compostable food bags for clearly defined packing, storage and collection tasks. Choose the format around contents, closure, contact conditions and the finished pack your operation needs.
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
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.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
06
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.
Applications
Find your
working context
Choose the relevant operation and share its practical requirements with your inquiry.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
Certifications & product documents
The file behind
the finished format
Keep the specification, applicable certification and intended-use information connected to the product you order.
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.

Use, handling & storage notes
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.

Product questions
Before your
first order
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.
