Compostable Bags and Degradable Liners for Melbourne Sites
This category brings together compostable bags, degradable bin liners and related lower-impact consumables for businesses working to reduce plastic waste. It includes Envirogreen compostable liners and kitchen caddy liners, Regal degradable liners in sizes from 28L to 240L, and Sabco compostable disposable gloves.
It is a good fit for cafés, offices, schools, councils and facility managers setting up organics collection or meeting sustainability commitments.
Compostable vs Biodegradable vs Degradable
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things. Choosing correctly depends on where the bag ends up.
| Type | What it generally means | Where it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Compostable | Designed to break down in composting conditions alongside food and garden waste | Organics and food waste streams where accepted |
| Biodegradable | Breaks down through microbial action, but timeframes and conditions vary widely | Check the product claim carefully before relying on it |
| Degradable | Conventional film with additives that help it fragment over time | General waste going to landfill; not a substitute for compostable |
In Australia, look on the product for reference to AS 4736 (industrial composting) or AS 5810 (home composting) if certification matters to your program. Before choosing FOGO bin liners, confirm with your council or waste contractor which liner types they accept, as rules differ between areas. Store compostable bags in a cool, dry place and use stock in rotation, since they are made to break down.
Envirogreen, Regal and Sabco Options
For organics collection, Envirogreen compostable bin liners (60L–140L) suit larger bins, while Envirogreen kitchen caddy liners fit benchtop food scrap caddies. Sites wanting biodegradable bin liners for general waste often look at degradable options such as the Regal 240L black degradable liners. Food handlers can also switch to Sabco compostable disposable gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can compostable liners go in a FOGO bin?
Many councils accept certified compostable liners, but not all do. Check your local council’s guidance first.
Are degradable bags compostable?
No. Degradable bags should go to general waste, not into compost or organics bins.
Do compostable bags have a shelf life?
They are designed to break down, so storing them away from heat and humidity and using older stock first is good practice.
Do you deliver compostable bags outside Melbourne?
Yes, we supply businesses throughout Victoria on request.
