Collection: Bin Liners

To find the right size bin liner for your bin, wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your bin and divide by two. For rectangular or square bins, add the width and depth together and divide by two. Measure the bin's height and add 10 to 20 cm for extra space. Liner sizes are usually given in terms of face width, open width, and length. Choose a liner that is the same size as or slightly larger than the measured dimensions. This method works for all types of bins, from small bathroom bins to big commercial wheelie bins, and ensures a snug fit and efficient operation.

Bin liners and bin bags are different products with different strengths and purposes. Bin liners are thinner and lighter, suitable for small or light trash, while bin bags are thicker and stronger, suitable for heavier or bulkier trash. The gauge or micron rating of both products indicates their strength, with higher numbers indicating thicker and stronger products. Bin bags are better for tough tasks like trash removal, while bin liners are suitable for everyday use. Both products are suitable for different spaces and environments.

Bin liners are made from various materials, each with varying environmental impacts. Common materials include HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE, which are strong, flexible, and moisture-resistant. However, they don't break down and contribute to plastic pollution. Biodegradable and compostable bin liners are better for the environment as they break down faster. Biodegradable liners are made from plant-based materials like PLA, while compostable liners break down into natural elements. Certified compostable liners are the best for the environment as they don't leave microplastics behind. Some bin liners are made from recycled plastic, reducing the need for new raw materials.

Bin liners are versatile items designed to handle various types of trash. Regular plastic liners are suitable for everyday household or office use, while heavy-duty liners are ideal for commercial or industrial settings. Scented liners are popular in kitchens and bathrooms, while antimicrobial liners prevent bacteria growth. Drawstring liners are easy to carry, while custom-fit liners fit the exact shape and size of the bin. Clear liners are useful for recycling or security, while black liners are more private. Plant-based biodegradable and compostable liners are environmentally friendly, as they break down faster in composting environments. The choice of bin liners depends on waste volume, size, hygiene needs, and environmental priorities.
