Australia enforces one of the world’s strictest standards for compostable waste bags. For any liner used in council green bins, kerbside organics collection, industrial composting facilities, or commercial food-waste systems, AS4736 certification is mandatory.
We are a 16-year industrial compostable bag manufacturer with a 20,000 m² facility, 16 automated production lines, certified raw materials, and 8-colour water-based printing—designed specifically for long-term B2B supply to Australia’s commercial and municipal waste systems.
Why AS4736 Compostable Bags Are Essential in Australia
Australia’s waste-management and organics-recycling sector requires strict certification compliance.
Generic biodegradable or degradable bags are not accepted by most councils, and are banned in multiple states.
Commercial clients choose AS4736 liners to avoid contamination penalties and rejected organics loads.
Why AS4736 Matters:
Required for industrial composting facilities in Australia
Accepted by Australian councils & waste-management contractors
Designed for kerbside organics collection systems
Breaks down fully with no microplastics or toxic residue
Complies with eco-toxicity and heavy-metal limits
Mandatory for FOGO and commercial organics programs
AS4736 = the only widely accepted industrial composting standard for commercial and council applications.
AS4736 vs Biodegradable Bags (What Australia Allows)
Many importers and councils ask: Are biodegradable bags allowed in Australia?
Biodegradable / Degradable Bags
- Not compliant with AS4736 industrial compostability requirements
- Rejected by council green bin programs
- Cannot be processed in commercial composting
- Risk contaminating entire organics load
Biodegradable bags cause contamination fines and are rejected at most Australian composting facilities.
AS4736 Compostable Bags
- Fully compliant with Australian compostable standards
- Approved by councils, processors, and waste contractors
- Safe for industrial organics recycling
- No contamination of organic waste streams
