Waste Bags

The waste bags in this subcategory cover volumes from 30 to 240 litres. The six items differ in size, material, film thickness, colour and closure: clear 30 and 60 litre bags for offices and businesses, a 60 litre drawstring bag, two 120 litre bags in blue (60 µm) and black (50 µm), and an extra-strong 240 litre sack at 80 µm.

All bags are supplied on rolls, with 10 to 50 bags per roll depending on size, and the roll is also the unit you order in. Typical buyers are commercial cleaning firms, property managers, hospitality, industry and municipal waste services.

Typical applications

• Office bins and small waste containers: 30 litre clear
• Medium-sized bins in businesses, workshops and kitchens: 60 litre, with or without drawstring
• Standard 120 litre wheelie bins: blue at 60 µm or black at 50 µm
• Large containers and recycling bins: 240 litre sack at 80 µm
• Waste separation using different bag colours

What to look for when buying

Start by measuring your bins: a bag that is too small slips off, one that is too large wastes film. Then let the weight of the waste decide the film thickness. The 30 litre HDPE bag at 10 µm is meant for paper and light office waste, while the 60 litre bag at 30 µm is for general use in offices and businesses. The 50 and 80 µm bags are designed for heavy waste; only the blue 120 litre bag at 60 µm, with tear-resistant welded seams, is explicitly described for sharp-edged waste as well.

Clear bags show what is inside, which makes it easier to check that waste has been sorted correctly; black and blue keep the contents out of sight. A drawstring saves tying a knot and makes carrying easier. Also note the number of bags per roll, which ranges from 10 (240 litres) to 50 (30 litres).
