FAQs

What does 'minimum 98% recycled plastic' mean?

It means that at least 98% of the material used to create these refuse sacks is derived from recycled plastic sources, helping to divert plastic from landfills and reduce the demand for virgin plastic.

Are these bags suitable for hot waste?

These bags are made of LDPE, which has a moderate heat resistance. It is not recommended to dispose of extremely hot waste (e.g., freshly used ash) as it could potentially melt or compromise the bag's integrity.

How do I ensure I am recycling them correctly?

Check with your local council or waste management provider. Many recycling facilities accept LDPE plastic bags, but specific collection programs may vary by region. Ensure the bags are empty and clean of significant food waste before recycling.

What is the capacity of each refuse sack?

Each refuse sack has a capacity of up to 100 liters.

Can these bags be used for sharp objects?

The bags are heavy-duty and designed to resist punctures, but for extremely sharp or jagged items, it is advisable to use caution or wrap such items first to provide an extra layer of protection.

What are the dimensions of the refuse sacks?

The dimensions of each sack are 736 mm in width and 990 mm in length.

How many bags are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 20 extra strong refuse sacks.

Troubleshooting

Bag tears during use

Ensure the bin's internal surfaces are smooth. Avoid overfilling the bag beyond its 100L capacity. Distribute weight evenly and avoid packing extremely sharp objects without protection.

Minor leaks occur

Double-check that the bag is correctly seated in the bin and no small holes were present on receipt. For very wet waste, consider placing an absorbent layer at the bottom or using a second bag for extra protection.

Bag is difficult to remove from bin

If the bag is packed very tightly, gently loosen the contents by hand (with gloves) before attempting to pull the bag out. Ensure the bag was not sealed to the bin with sticky residue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from a high percentage of recycled plastic, aiding sustainability efforts.
  • Strong and durable, reducing the likelihood of bags breaking.
  • Excellent leak resistance for containing liquids and sharp items.
  • Fully recyclable, aligning with eco-friendly waste management practices.
  • Large 100L capacity suitable for significant amounts of refuse.

Cons

  • Requires access to 100% recyclable waste streams for proper disposal.
  • May not be suitable for extremely hot materials that could compromise LDPE integrity.
  • The black color may obscure contents, which could be a con for sorting purposes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These refuse sacks require no specific setup. Simply remove one from the roll and fit it to your waste bin, ensuring the edges are spread to cover the interior.

Compatibility: The 736 x 990 mm size is designed to fit most standard 100L domestic and commercial bins. Always check your bin dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Care: Handle with care when filling to avoid overstretching or sharp punctures that could compromise integrity. Ensure waste is not excessively hot before bagging. To dispose, check your local council guidelines for recycling plastic refuse sacks.
