Measure the actual bin
Share rim width, depth, corner shape, usable height and desired foldover. A nominal 13-gallon label does not standardize bin geometry.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Specify ES-GB-08 by the real bin and waste stream
“Heavy duty” is not a universal test result. Start with the actual tall-kitchen bin, contents, moisture, service interval and removal method, then select a gauge and gusset construction that passes an agreed validation plan.

SPECIFICATION LOGIC
Four decisions before quotation
Map the waste stream
Define typical and peak contents, moisture, sharp-edge exposure, service time and whether organics are drained before collection.
Approve the complete construction
Review film gauge, cuff retention, bottom gusset, heat seals, perforation and supported removal on one production-representative sample.
Lock the claim route
Match the finished bag and custom artwork to current documents, permitted marks and the receiving collector or composting facility.
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, rim geometry, usable depth and required foldover
- Waste contents, moisture, sharp-edge exposure, service interval and handling method
- Target gauge, bottom construction, roll count, colour, artwork and pack-out
- Destination market, composting route, required documents and annual forecast
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Six construction and validation points for a heavier 13-gallon liner
35–70 μm application-led gauge range
Thirty-five microns is the standard starting point, not a universal load rating. Select the final gauge after testing the actual waste density, moisture, service time, temperature, rim geometry and removal method.
Reinforced layered bottom gusset
The reference construction uses a broad heat-seal area and layered bottom gusset to spread the filled bag across its base. Approve gusset depth, layer alignment, weld consistency and filled-bag handling on production-representative samples.
Tall 13-gallon fit with a wide flat-top cuff
The 24 × 27 in reference is intended for many tall kitchen bins, but round, rectangular, tapered and pull-out containers differ. Check usable depth, rim retention and the foldover needed for the buyer’s actual bin.
Representative wet-load and handling validation
Use well-drained representative contents to define an agreed wet-holding, lift, carry or drop method. The approved result applies only to that construction and test—it is not a blanket leakproof or kilogram claim.
Easy-tear perforated rolls
Controlled perforation and roll tension support quick changes in kitchens, cafés and collection rooms. Confirm bag count, roll diameter, core format, storage location and tear direction before approving the pack-out.
OEM colour, print and wholesale packaging
Coordinate bag colour, repeating artwork, opening guide, roll count, retail carton and export marks. Custom pigment, ink, printing or gauge changes require a fresh finished-SKU document review before compostability marks are released.

CERTIFICATIONS
Verify four finished-SKU compostability routes
These four names are procurement checkpoints, not blanket proof for the illustrated custom bag. Match the certificate holder, product identity, formulation, maximum thickness, colour, printing, validity and permitted mark to the exact finished SKU.
EN 13432
European packaging requirements for recovery through controlled composting and biodegradation. Confirm that current evidence covers the complete converted liner, selected heavy gauge, seams, pigment and printing.
BPI / ASTM D6400
BPI is a third-party certification program using applicable ASTM criteria, including ASTM D6400 for plastics designed for aerobic composting in municipal or industrial facilities. Check the current public listing, certificate holder, exact product and artwork-mark permission.
OK compost INDUSTRIAL
A TÜV AUSTRIA conformity route for controlled industrial composting. Verify the current certificate number, validity, product family, maximum gauge, colour and print coverage, then confirm acceptance with the destination facility.
OK compost HOME
A separate conformity route for home-compost conditions. Do not infer it from industrial evidence; request the current certificate and verify that the exact 35–70 μm construction, pigment, printing and bottom gusset remain within scope.
OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Choose final dimensions, 35–70 μm gauge, body colour, repeating artwork, opening guide, print coverage, roll count, retail carton and export-carton marks. Flat-top construction is the reference; a drawstring or handle version requires a separate construction, quotation, production sample and evidence review.

USE CASES
Four kitchen and organics applications to validate on site
Busy Residential Kitchens & Meal Prep
Use a right-sized 13-gallon liner for well-drained peelings, coffee grounds and other locally accepted food scraps generated during family cooking or batch preparation. Validate service interval, cuff retention and supported removal with the actual bin.
Cafés, Bakeries & Light-Commercial Prep
Collect coffee filters, fruit peelings, bakery prep scraps and other accepted organics at compact back-of-house stations. Match gauge and change frequency to the real moisture, daily volume and carrying distance.
Multifamily Organics & Subscription Collection
Configure a consistent 13-gallon liner for apartment-building organics rooms or residential pickup programs. Obtain written acceptance from the receiving collector because a compostability document does not guarantee local program acceptance.
Hospitality, Staff Canteens & Break Rooms
Standardize a heavier-gauge kitchen format for hotel staff dining, workplace break rooms and shared food-prep areas. Define what belongs in the organics stream, how contamination is controlled and when the liner is changed.
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Heavy duty does not mean puncture-proof. Do not use for nails, broken glass, exposed metal, rigid bones, construction debris, medical, hazardous, hot or free-liquid waste. Support the bag body during removal and do not publish a universal load or leak-time claim without a defined repeatable test. Home and industrial composting are separate routes, and no certificate guarantees acceptance by every local collection or composting program. Keep unused stock sealed, cool and dry away from direct sunlight, heat and excess humidity; confirm shelf life in the signed order specification.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes ES-GB-08 a heavy duty compostable trash bag?
Its sourcing reference combines a 35–70 μm gauge range with a wide flat-top cuff and reinforced layered bottom gusset. Real performance still depends on formulation, dimensions, seal settings, contents and handling, so approve an agreed test before volume production.
Will the 24 × 27 in bag fit every 13-gallon kitchen bin?
No. Nominal capacity does not standardize rim shape, corner radius, taper or usable depth. Send the actual bin dimensions and required foldover, then test the sample on the intended container.
How is ES-GB-08 different from the ES-GB-06 drawstring bag?
ES-GB-06 uses a 22 μm standard drawstring construction for routine tall-kitchen service. ES-GB-08 starts at 35 μm and uses a flat-top, reinforced-gusset reference for more demanding waste streams. Choose by tested need rather than assuming thicker is always better.
Can these liners hold wet food scraps?
They can be evaluated for well-drained food scraps using an agreed contents, moisture, fill, service-time and handling method. They are not intended for free liquid, and a sample result should not be generalized into a universal leakproof claim.
Are these bags rated to carry 15 kg?
Do not treat the legacy 15 kg statement as a universal finished-product rating. If a carrying-weight claim is required, define the exact construction, fill medium, conditioning, lift method, dwell time and pass criteria, then document the result.
Is the heavy-gauge bag home compostable?
Only when a current OK compost HOME certificate or equivalent finished-product evidence covers the exact formulation, maximum gauge, colour, print and construction. Industrial certification does not automatically establish home-compost suitability.
Can ES-GB-08 be used for garage, yard or construction debris?
Not where nails, screws, glass, wire, sharp branches or rigid building offcuts are present. Use rigid containment or a separately approved contractor-bag system for puncture hazards.
What information is needed for a wholesale quotation?
Provide actual bin dimensions, intended contents, moisture, service interval, handling method, target gauge, bottom construction, colour, artwork, bag count, pack-out, destination market, required documents, annual forecast, delivery point and sample deadline.
