What Are FOGO Bin Liners?
FOGO bin liners are compostable liners used to collect Food Organics & Garden Organics in Australian household, commercial and council programs.
In many Australian FOGO programs, kitchen caddy liners are required to comply with AS 4736 for commercial composting. However, liner acceptance varies between states, councils, collection contractors and receiving composting facilities.
AS 5810 supports a separate home-composting claim and should not be treated as a universal substitute for AS 4736 in FOGO programs.
Before specifying a liner, buyers should confirm the required certification, certification mark, bag color, size and finished-product scope with the relevant council or receiving facility.
For a full explanation of FOGO certification requirements, see: FOGO Compostable Bags – Certification & Compliance Guide
Certification and FOGO Program Acceptance
FOGO liner requirements vary between Australian states, councils, collection contractors, and composting facilities.
Many programs require kitchen caddy liners certified to AS 4736 for commercial composting. Some programs also specify the approved certification mark, color, size, printing, or supplier.
A raw-material certificate does not automatically certify every finished FOGO bin liner.
The finished bag thickness, color, printing ink, additives, and sealing structure must remain within the relevant certificate or test scope.
Before approving a FOGO liner, buyers should confirm:
- Required compostability standard
- Certificate holder and validity
- Finished-product scope
- Covered thickness and color
- Permitted use of certification marks
- Council and collection-program requirements
- Acceptance by the receiving composting facility
- Approved waste types
A certificate provides evidence against defined test requirements. It does not guarantee acceptance by every composting program.
Available project documents may include:
- Raw material certificate
- Finished-product certificate
- Test report
- Technical data sheet
- Supplier declaration
- Certification-mark authorization or sublicense
- Batch inspection records
These documents are not interchangeable.
FOGO Bin Liner Size Guide (8L–240L)
FOGO bin liners are selected according to bin capacity, actual bin dimensions, waste type and collection method. The following range provides a practical starting point for Australian FOGO projects.
8L FOGO Kitchen Caddy Liners
- Typical use: Household FOGO kitchen caddies and council starter kits
- Application: Daily collection and transfer of food scraps
- Certification: AS 4736 is required by many Australian FOGO programs. Requirements should be confirmed with the relevant council, collection contractor and receiving facility.
AS 5810 supports a separate home-composting claim and does not automatically establish acceptance in a FOGO program.
- Typical use: Kitchens, offices, cafés, small food-service sites
- Application: Short-cycle indoor food-waste storage
- Certification: The applicable compostability standard should be confirmed against the local FOGO program and receiving facility requirements.
60-120L Green bin liners
Typical use: Commercial organics bins and selected residential or facility programs
Application: Medium-volume collection and transfer of food and organic waste
Certification: AS 4736 may be required depending on the program, material and finished-product specification.
Full-bin liner acceptance varies between FOGO programs. Buyers should confirm local requirements before specifying these sizes.
Typical use: Commercial organics bins, council or contractor projects where full-bin liners are permitted
Application: High-volume food and organic-waste collection
Certification: AS 4736 may be required depending on the program and finished-product specification.
Acceptance of full-size 240L liners varies between councils and composting facilities. Buyers should confirm whether wheelie-bin liners are permitted before specifying the product for a FOGO program.
For council and contractor projects, liner fit, seal strength, wet-load performance and removal conditions should be confirmed against the project specification.
For council and contractor projects, liner fit, seal strength, wet-load performance and removal conditions should be confirmed against the project specification.
FOGO Bin Sizes and Liner Applications
FOGO bin capacity does not define a universal liner dimension. Bins with the same stated capacity may have different rim sizes, heights, and shapes.
| Capacity | Typical Application | Specification Check |
|---|---|---|
| 8L | Kitchen caddies and household starter kits | Confirm caddy dimensions, roll count and local AS 4736 requirements |
| 20–30L | Commercial kitchens, offices and indoor food waste bins | Confirm waste weight, collection frequency and bag overhang |
| 60–80L | Indoor or small commercial green bins | Confirm rim dimensions, seal type and wet-load performance |
| 120L | Residential and commercial wheelie bins | Confirm bin model, circumference and tie-off allowance |
| 240L | Council and contractor-managed wheelie bins | Confirm full-bin load, lifting method and collection conditions |
The table provides application guidance only. Final width, length, thickness, and seal structure should be approved from bin measurements, a technical drawing, or a fitting sample.
How to Specify the Correct FOGO Bin Liner
Bin capacity alone is not enough to determine the correct liner dimensions.
For specification review, buyers should provide:
- Bin width, depth and height
- Rim dimensions or circumference
- Bin model or technical drawing
- Required bag overhang
- Tie-off or closure requirement
- Food and garden waste composition
- Expected load weight
- Collection frequency
- Bags per roll
- Required certification and program
- Reference liner or physical fitting sample, where available
Final liner dimensions should be approved through a technical drawing, fitting sample or agreed dimensional specification before mass production.
Performance Requirements for FOGO Liners
FOGO liners often hold wet and heavy organic waste. Film thickness alone does not determine performance.
The approved specification should consider:
- Puncture resistance
- Tear resistance
- Seal strength
- Wet-load performance
- Roll perforation
- Bag separation
- Storage conditions
- Collection and lifting method
Available structures may include star-seal and flat-seal bags, subject to the bin shape and waste type.
FOGO liner performance should be approved against a fitting sample, agreed load requirement or documented test method before mass production. Compostability certification does not replace physical performance testing.

FAQ About FOGO Bin Liners
FOGO programs commonly use small kitchen caddy liners, while larger indoor and outdoor bin sizes vary according to the collection system. ORIZON supports specifications from 8L kitchen caddy liners through to custom large-capacity liners up to 240L where full-bin liners are accepted.
Start with the actual bin dimensions rather than litre capacity alone. Rim dimensions, bin height, required overhang, waste weight, collection method and closure requirements should all be considered before final liner dimensions are approved.
Certification requirements are determined by the local FOGO program, finished-product specification and certificate scope rather than liner size alone. Buyers should confirm the applicable standard before approving production or certification marks.
Many Australian FOGO programs require compostable kitchen caddy liners that comply with AS 4736 for commercial composting. Requirements vary by council and receiving facility, so buyers should verify the applicable standard and certificate scope before ordering.
Not universally. AS 5810 supports home-composting claims, while many Australian FOGO programs specify AS 4736 for commercial composting. Some councils may accept both, but local program and facility requirements should always be confirmed.
Acceptance varies. Some commercial and council programs use large compostable wheelie-bin liners, while others prefer organic material to be placed loose in the outdoor FOGO bin. Confirm the local program before specifying a 120L or 240L full-bin liner.
Yes. ORIZON supplies FOGO liners for B2B projects, including councils, contractors, distributors and private-label programs. Custom production MOQ typically starts from approximately 500 kg per size and specification.
