Kitchen Caddy Liners for 5L-10L Food Waste Caddies
Kitchen caddy liners are small liners made for benchtop food waste caddies. They are commonly used to collect food scraps before the waste is moved to an outdoor organics bin or another approved collection system.
These liners are not designed for standard kitchen trash bins. For 20L-60L bins, view our Medium Bin Liners (20L–60L)
Common B2B applications include:
- Municipal food waste and FOGO programs
- Retail and private-label product lines
- Food waste starter kits
- School and institutional organics programs
- Importer and distributor supply programs
Material and Compostability Options
Kitchen caddy liners can be manufactured using PBAT / PLA- and starch-based compostable formulations.
Material selection depends on the required strength, storage conditions, target market, disposal route, and intended compostability claim.
Film formulations may include:
- PLA: a polymer used in many compostable film formulations
- PBAT: a flexible polymer used to improve film handling and strength
- Plant-based starch components: materials used in selected compostable blends
A raw-material certificate does not automatically certify every finished kitchen caddy liner. The thickness, color, printing ink, additives, and seal structure must fall within the relevant certificate or test scope.
Industrial composting and home composting are different claims. A liner certified for industrial composting should not be described as home compostable without separate supporting certification.
Compostable plastics also require suitable collection and processing conditions. The European Commission explains that compostable plastics normally need specific end-of-life conditions and collection systems.
Capacities and Custom Fit
Caddy capacity alone does not confirm the correct liner dimensions. A 5L, 8L, or 10L caddy from one supplier may have a different shape from a caddy with the same stated capacity from another supplier.
| Capacity | Typical Application | Reference Thickness | Packaging Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5L | Compact benchtop caddies | 0.018-0.025 mm | Roll or folded |
| 6L | Retail and starter-kit caddies | 0.018-0.025 mm | Roll or retail box |
| 8L | Food waste and selected FOGO caddies | 0.018-0.025 mm | Roll or retail pack |
| 10L | Larger benchtop food waste caddies | 0.018-0.028 mm | Roll or retail pack |
For an accurate fit, buyers should provide:
- Caddy width, depth, and height
- Rim dimensions
- Required bag overhang and tie-off space
- Preferred bags per roll
- A technical drawing, photograph, or physical sample
Final dimensions should be approved through fitting samples before mass production.
Product Performance Considerations
Film thickness and seal structure should be selected according to the food-waste type, expected load, storage conditions and collection system.
Relevant finished-liner checks may include:
- film thickness and dimensional consistency;
- seal integrity;
- puncture and tensile performance where required;
- roll perforation and separation;
- caddy fit; and
- packing configuration.
Performance requirements should be confirmed against the approved specification and, where appropriate, evaluated through samples before mass production.
Compostability certification does not replace physical performance evaluation.
Kitchen Caddy Liners for FOGO Programs
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics. These programs collect accepted organic waste for commercial processing.
Certified compostable caddy liners may be suitable for selected FOGO programs. However, certification does not guarantee acceptance by every council or composting facility.
Before placing an order, buyers should confirm:
- Required compostability standard
- Approved certification mark
- Finished-product certificate scope
- Council or collection-program requirements
- Acceptance by the receiving composting facility
- Required caddy and roll dimensions
The liner itself does not determine which food scraps are accepted. Waste acceptance rules are set by the local program and processing facility.
The Australasian Bioplastics Association states that certification does not guarantee acceptance in every composting system.
Australian FOGO requirements can vary by council and receiving facility. Buyers should confirm the required certification and accepted liner specification for the intended local program.
Customization Options (OEM / ODM)
OEM means the liners are manufactured to the buyer’s approved specification. Available OEM and private-label options include:
- Film thickness from 0.015–0.030 mm, subject to specification review
- Custom width, length, and thickness
- Natural, green, or custom Pantone colors
- Paper-core, coreless, rolled, or folded formats
- Custom bags per roll
- Water-based inks, subject to the artwork and certification scope
- Printing in up to 8 colors, subject to artwork review
- Retail boxes, paper sleeves, outer bags, or bulk cartons
- EAN, UPC, barcode, and carton-label support
Certification marks may only be printed when the finished product, certificate scope, and licensing conditions permit their use.
Certification & Project Documentation
Compostability certification for kitchen caddy liners should be reviewed against the actual finished-product specification.
Relevant technical standards may include:
- ASTM D6400
- EN 13432
- AS 4736
- AS 5810
Third-party certification programs and conformity marks may include those administered by:
- BPI
- TÜV AUSTRIA
- ABA
- DIN CERTCO
TÜV AUSTRIA Scope
ORIZON’s current OK compost INDUSTRIAL and OK compost HOME certificates by TÜV AUSTRIA state the Product Types:
“Bags for collection of biodegradable refuse”
“Shopping bags (check-out bags)”
A specific kitchen caddy liner should still be reviewed against the applicable current certificate conditions, product classification and final finished-product specification before TÜV certification claims or conformity marks are used.
Australian Projects
ORIZON’s current ABA certification documentation includes specified shopping and waste bag products within the applicable certified scope.
A kitchen caddy liner should not automatically be treated as covered solely because it is used for food-waste collection. Applicability should be confirmed against the relevant current certificate and final liner specification.
Certification applicability may depend on:
- dimensions;
- thickness;
- material formulation;
- film colour;
- printing and ink;
- additives;
- seal structure; and
- other finished-product components.
Available project documentation may include applicable certificates, technical data sheets, test reports, declarations or inspection records.
These documents are not interchangeable. Buyers should confirm the certificate holder, product scope, specification, validity and mark-use requirements.

FAQ
We manufacture 5L, 6L, 8L, and 10L kitchen caddy liners. Capacity alone does not confirm the correct fit. Final dimensions should be based on the caddy measurements, drawing, or an approved sample.
Certification is product- and market-specific.
Relevant technical standards may include ASTM D6400, EN 13432, AS 4736 and AS 5810, while third-party certification programs may include BPI, TÜV AUSTRIA, ABA and DIN CERTCO.
The applicable current certificate or product listing should be checked against the final liner dimensions, thickness, colour, printing, seal structure and intended use before certification claims or marks are used.
FOGO acceptance varies by council and receiving facility. Buyers should confirm both the applicable finished-product certification and the requirements of the local council, collection contractor and processor.
Compostable bags must meet defined requirements under a relevant compostability standard. “Biodegradable” alone does not identify a specific timeframe, environment, or certification requirement.
No. Kitchen caddy liners are designed for small food waste caddies, usually from 5L to 10L. Standard kitchen trash bags are generally larger and may use different materials and disposal routes.
Standard customized production typically starts from approximately 500 kg per specification or design. The equivalent liner quantity depends on dimensions, thickness, roll configuration, printing and packaging. Product-specific trial quantities may differ.
