Compostable Options Tear-Resistant FSC & Recycled Kraft Retail & Takeaway

The last thing a customer touches on the way out, and the first thing that fails if it is under-specified. A bag that splits in a car park is remembered longer than the meal.

Kraft paper bags for takeaway and retail, SOS or handled. Compostable PLA liners and carry bags where the whole thing goes into a green bin with its contents still inside. And heavy-duty HDPE t-shirt bags and trash can liners, gauged to be reused rather than binned after one trip.

Where the film actually goes

Polyethylene film, carry bags and bin liners, is recyclable, but almost never through kerbside collection. Soft film wraps around the sorting machinery at recycling facilities and jams it, which is why most councils exclude it.

It goes to store drop-off collection instead: the bins at the entrance of most large supermarkets. Clean and dry film only. We say this plainly on every HDPE and LDPE page because telling a customer something is recyclable, without telling them where, is how contaminated recycling streams happen.

BUYING GUIDE

Sizing a bag so it does not split in a car park

Side-by-side on heat, grease, strength, end of life and cost per unit, so you can decide on evidence rather than on which description sounded best.
