PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Why specify ES-GB-02
ES-GB-02 is our small compostable trash bag for 4–6 gallon bins — the entry point SKU for bathroom, office, and bedroom waste where per-bag cost is the primary consideration and load weight is light..
The differentiator is cost parity. At approximately $0.03 per bag at distributor volume, ES-GB-02 is within 5–8 % of conventional PE liners — the narrowest price gap in our range.
Where it sits in our range. ES-GB-02 anchors the small-format economy end of the General Bags category.
When not to specify it. If your bins are in high-traffic areas where the bag is visible to customers or guests, the translucent green tint may not match your interior aesthetic — ES-GB-04 (drawstring, same size class) offers a cleaner look.

Store in a cool, dry place; shelf life of 12 months at recommended conditions.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do these compare in cost to standard plastic small trash bags?
At distributor volume pricing (500+ cartons), our 4–6 gallon compostable bags cost approximately 5–8% more than conventional PE small trash bags of equivalent gauge. The premium narrows as plastic bag legislation expands — many jurisdictions now mandate compostable or recycled content, making ESINLE bags the compliant, cost-effective choice.
Are the bags strong enough for wet bathroom waste?
Yes. The star-seal bottom construction is tested to hold 500 ml of standing liquid for 4 hours without seepage. For typical bathroom waste (tissues, cotton, packaging), these bags perform equivalently to PE liners. We recommend emptying bins every 2–3 days for optimal performance with wet waste.
Do these bags fit standard small wastebaskets?
The 16 x 18 inch (4 gallon) size fits approximately 95% of standard bathroom, office, and bedroom wastebaskets. The bag has a slight stretch for bins up to 9 inches in diameter. For larger small bins, our 6 gallon (17 x 20 inch) option provides additional coverage.
