Who uses compostable grocery bags on roll

Produce bags on a roll are used where shoppers pick loose items: fruit and vegetable sections, bakery and deli counters, bulk and refill stores, and farmers markets. Customers tear off a bag, fill it and weigh it.

The bags are food-contact safe and breathable, which helps reduce sweating on fresh produce, and they can go with food waste to composting. The rolls mount on hanging or counter dispensers.

Sizes and thickness

SpecificationRange
Bag size8"×12" to 12"×16"
Thickness15 – 25 microns

Bags run from 8"×12" to 12"×16", with 300 to 600 bags per roll on a 1.5" cardboard core. Smaller sizes suit herbs, chillies and mushrooms, while larger sizes suit leafy vegetables and bigger fruit. A store that stocks both can mount two rolls side by side.

How to choose the right thickness

Rolls are made in 15 to 25 microns. Thin film is enough for light loose produce such as leafy greens and small fruit. Heavier produce such as potatoes, onions and root vegetables suits the thicker end, because corners and weight put more load on the film. Trial the film with your heaviest line before ordering in volume.

Disposal and storage

Used bags can go to composting together with peels and trimmings where an industrial composting facility collects food waste. Our specification states that the bag returns to soil within 240 days in industrial composting. Keep unused rolls in a cool, dry place; shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
