Trash bag container cover

Use of container garbage bags

These bags or covers serve as a protective envelope for the inner wall of the containers and thus avoid tedious and expensive cleaning.
They are removed at the same time as household waste.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove the waste bag from the container with the garbage, as this could lead to injury due to the heavy load and the fact that these covers are not designed for this purpose.

Container cover models

They are fitted to containers or rolling bins with capacities ranging from 120 to 1100 litres.
The covers are available in several thicknesses from 20 to 55 microns. Given that they are protective covers, most users opt for 20-micron covers .
This thickness will be sufficient in service industries where the waste is ultimately bulky but not very heavy (office wastebasket, empty plastic bottle, etc.)
Using a 55-micron reinforced LDPE cover only makes sense if the weight or type of waste (solid or liquid) is justified . This might be the case in the food processing industry, kitchens, restaurants, apartment buildings, etc.
Another advantage of having a reinforced bin bag is the ability to reuse the liner in the container. This is often the argument put forward by users of this type of liner.

What about biodegradable container garbage bags?

As part of a widespread effort to reduce plastics, many companies and local authorities are now switching to biodegradable bin bags . This option aligns with an eco-responsible approach to reducing the amount of plastic in our product lifecycle.
The container bin bag is no exception to the rule and Voussert offers 100% biodegradable versions for these ranges of container bags.

Comparison of garbage bags and containers

Material of the garbage bag, container cover

Container covers are made from a linear low-density polyethylene sheath.
Low-density polyethylene has a glossy appearance and a soft feel. They are mostly manufactured in Europe , and more specifically in Italy, which is an industrial hub for the production of low-density polyethylene garbage bags and covers.

Are the container garbage bags standard?

Yes, the key to choosing the right bin liner is the stated volume . For example, a 240-liter bin liner is designed for a 240-liter bin . Therefore, you must ensure you choose a liner with the same volume as your bin. The most common sizes are 120L, 240L, 330L, 340L, 660L, and 750L. You may want to check the manufacturer's specifications to guarantee a perfect fit.

Can I reuse the container cover bag?

Perfectly, if the cover remains attached to the container during waste collection and is neither torn nor damaged, why change it ? Therefore, it's a way to save money if you decide to manage it this way because, as we know about plastics as with any other waste: "the best waste is the waste that is not produced."
Here too comes the idea of using a reinforced 55-micron container bin bag , for example, which will avoid daily changes and therefore reduce waste.

Do I have to put a rubbish bag in my rubbish container?

No, of course, there's no obligation. Again, the only benefit is to extend the lifespan of your bin, particularly with regard to fluids that could eventually damage the material it's made of. The goal is also to reduce the time spent cleaning and disinfecting (and even deodorizing) your bin. So, it's a two-pronged approach: one for the longevity of your bin and one for hygiene.

What size bin bags do I need for my bin container?

Trash bags for garbage containers are standardized to fit different container sizes. Therefore, you must choose a bag that matches the size of your container. If your container is 240 liters, you will need a 240-liter container-sized trash bag.
