Compostable Food Waste Bags Wholesale for B2B Buyers
Compostable food waste bags are used to collect food scraps, kitchen waste, coffee grounds, peelings, leftovers, and organic waste before composting or organics collection.
For B2B buyers, the key question is not only whether the bag is compostable. You also need to check size, thickness, wet-load strength, certification scope, packing method, and private-label requirements.
Orizon manufactures compostable food waste bags for importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, foodservice suppliers, and organic waste program buyers.

Food Waste Bags vs Kitchen Caddy Liners
Many buyers use these two terms together, but they are not exactly the same.
| Page Type | Main Search Intent | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Compostable Food Waste Bags | Buyer needs bags for food scraps and organic waste collection. | Use-case page for food waste programs, retail, and OEM supply. |
| Kitchen Caddy Liners | Buyer needs liners that fit 5L to 10L kitchen caddies. | Size and fit page for small kitchen bins. |
| Compostable Bin Liners | Buyer wants the full bin liner range. | Category page covering small, medium, office, hotel, and wheelie bin liners. |
For smaller kitchen bins, many buyers also compare our kitchen caddy liners in 5L to 10L sizes.
Compostable, Biodegradable, and Certified: What Buyers Should Check
Compostable food waste bags should not be approved only because the supplier says they are biodegradable.
The European Commission explains that compostable plastics are a subset of biodegradable plastics and need suitable collection and composting conditions. Biobased does not always mean compostable.
For B2B buyers, the safest approach is to check the claim, the standard, and the certification scope.
| Claim | What It Means | Buyer Check |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial compostable | Designed for controlled composting facilities. | Check EN 13432, ASTM D6400, BPI, or OK compost INDUSTRIAL scope. |
| Home compostable | Designed for lower-temperature home composting. | Ask for home composting certification, not only industrial compost proof. |
| Biodegradable | May break down under certain conditions. | Too vague unless a test method and disposal route are stated. |
| Plant-based | Made partly from biological resources. | Not automatically compostable. |
Certification and Document Support
Common certification and standard references for compostable food waste bags include EN 13432, ASTM D6400, BPI, OK compost INDUSTRIAL, and OK compost HOME.
Buyers should review compostable certifications before approving private-label food waste bags.
ASTM D6400 covers plastics and products designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities. BPI certification also requires product information, test reports, certification agreements, and mark control.
For serious sourcing, ask whether the certificate covers the finished bag, not only the raw material.
- Certificate
- Test report
- Material declaration
- Finished product scope
- Thickness range covered
- Color and printing scope
- Supplier declaration
- Batch traceability information
Performance Checks for Wet Food Waste
Food waste bags must handle wet, heavy, and sometimes sharp waste. Film strength matters.
Before bulk order, buyers should check:
- Leak resistance
- Bottom seal strength
- Puncture resistance
- Wet-load performance
- Roll tear-off quality
- Shelf life
- Storage conditions
- Odor control expectations
Compostable bags should be stored in a cool, dry place. Heat and humidity can affect film performance over time.
OEM and Private Label Options
Orizon supports OEM and private-label compostable food waste bags for global B2B buyers.
Customization options include:
- Custom size
- Custom thickness

- Logo printing

FAQ

Only if the finished bag is certified for home composting and local rules allow it. Industrial compostable certification alone does not prove home compostability.
Common materials include PLA, PBAT, and corn starch blends. The final formula depends on strength, flexibility, compostability, shelf life, and cost requirements.
