What Are Compostable Produce Bags? (For B2B Use)
In Australia, compostable produce bags are also commonly referred to as fruit & veg bags or vegetable bags in wholesale and supermarket supply chains.
Compostable produce bags, often called fruit & veg bags or produce roll bags in Australia, are lightweight bags used in fresh produce departments for:
- Selecting and weighing loose fruit and vegetables
- Temporary storage before checkout
- Short-term handling in wholesale and food supply chains
They are not designed to seal, lock in moisture, or preserve food long-term.
They are different from compostable sandwich bags, freezer bags, or resealable food storage bags. Clear use boundaries help buyers avoid misuse and reduce customer complaints.
Produce Bag Formats for Australian Supermarkets & Wholesale Supply
All compostable produce bags listed below are non-sealable and breathable, designed specifically for fresh fruit and vegetable handling in Australia.
Flat-Top Produce Bags on Roll (Most Common Format)
Flat-top produce bags on roll are the standard format used in Australian fruit and vegetable sections.
They are designed for fast picking, easy dispensing, and smooth weighing at checkout.
Typical Applications
- Supermarket fruit & vegetable departments
- Loose produce sold by weight
- High-turnover retail environments
Key Features

Vest-Style (T-Shirt) Produce Bags
Vest-style produce bags are used by some wholesale markets and produce distributors, where handles make it easier to carry heavier or bulk produce.
Typical Applications
- Wholesale produce markets
- Distribution centres
- Situations where carrying convenience is required
Key Features
- Handle (T-shirt) design for easier carrying

Use Guidance (Important)
All compostable produce bag styles above are intentionally non-airtight.
This design allows air circulation to help reduce condensation and moisture build-up on fresh produce such as apples, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables sold by weight.
Not intended for:
- Bread or bakery items
- Sandwiches or ready-to-eat foods
- Airtight food storage
- Freezer or long-term storage
Clear use boundaries help buyers avoid product misuse and reduce customer complaints.

Australia-Relevant Certifications
FOGO & Council Acceptance: What Buyers Should Know
In Australia, compostable produce bags are often accepted where food organics and garden organics (FOGO) are collected.
However, acceptance varies by local council.
We recommend that buyers:
- Check local council guidelines
- Follow FOGO program rules
- Use clear labelling to support correct disposal
FOGO acceptance varies by local council. Buyers should always check local guidelines before promoting compostable produce bags as part of an organics program.
