FOGO Bin Liners for Australian Council and Commercial Programs
ORIZON manufactures compostable FOGO bin liners for Australian councils, waste contractors, distributors and commercial organics projects. We supply kitchen caddy liners and larger bin liner configurations with custom dimensions, thickness, seals, rolls and packaging.
Choose the liner around the actual bin and collection method. A capacity such as 8L, 30L or 240L does not determine one universal finished-bag size.
- 8L–240L FOGO liner range
- Custom sizes & thickness
- Star-seal and flat-seal options
- Paper-core or coreless rolls
- OEM & private-label packaging
- AS 4736 options for applicable finished-product configurations
B2B supply only · MOQ from approx. 500 kg per size/specification
Confirm the applicable certification scope and local FOGO acceptance before approving the final specification.
Certification and FOGO Program Acceptance
Before ordering, confirm the standard required for the intended use, the certificate’s finished-product scope and the rules of the council, waste contractor or receiving facility.
Certification does not guarantee acceptance by every FOGO program. AS 5810 home-composting certification should not automatically be treated as a substitute for AS 4736 in a FOGO collection program.
FOGO Bin Liner Size Guide (8L–240L)
Use bin capacity as a starting point. Final liner dimensions depend on the bin opening and height, the amount of overhang needed, the expected waste load and how the liner will be removed.
| Bin Capacity | Typical Application | Main Fit and Use Checks |
|---|---|---|
| 8L–10L | Kitchen caddies and household food-scrap collection | Caddy opening, bag depth, overhang and roll size |
| 20L–30L | Indoor collection in kitchens, cafés and workplaces | Bin shape, moisture, load and emptying frequency |
| 60L–120L | Larger indoor bins and commercial collection points | Rim fit, bag depth, seal strength and removal method |
| 240L | Wheelie-bin applications where full-bin liners are permitted | Bin model, rim circumference, closure, handling and local acceptance |
These ranges describe applications, not fixed bag dimensions. Bins with the same stated capacity can have different openings, heights and shapes.
8L–10L Kitchen Caddy Liners
The liner should open comfortably around the caddy rim, reach the bottom and leave enough material for the required overhang or closure. For council distribution projects, also confirm the number of bags per roll and the finished roll dimensions.
Where compostable plastic kitchen caddy liners are permitted in a FOGO program, check its certification and acceptance requirements before approving the product.
For kitchens, cafés and workplaces, confirm the expected food-waste load, moisture level and time between liner changes. Specify whether staff will tie and carry the liner when removing it from the bin.
60-120L Green bin liners
Confirm whether the liner is mainly used to keep the bin clean or must carry collected waste during transfer. The intended removal method affects the required fit, film and bottom-seal performance.
Provide the bin model, technical drawing or actual measurements. Check rim fit, bag depth, closure allowance and handling method. Confirm that the collection program and receiving facility permit full-bin liners before specifying this format.
Confirm that the collection program and receiving facility permit full-bin liners. Acceptance of kitchen caddy liners does not establish acceptance of a 240L liner.
How to Measure a Bin for the Correct Liner
To review the liner specification, provide:
-
Opening dimensions: width and depth, or rim circumference for a round bin.
-
Bin height: measured from the rim to the base.
-
Required overhang: the amount of liner that must fold over the rim.
-
Closure allowance: extra length if the bag will be tied.
-
Expected load: approximate waste weight and moisture level.
-
Handling method: how often the bag is changed and how it is removed.
A bin photograph, technical drawing or existing liner can help with the initial review. Approve final dimensions through a fitting sample, drawing or agreed dimensional specification before mass production.
Check the Fit With a Sample
Place the proposed liner in the intended bin. Confirm that it opens easily, fits around the rim, reaches the bottom, stays in place during filling and can be removed as planned.
A stock sample in another size can help assess material feel or seal construction, but it cannot confirm the final liner’s fit.
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.
Approve the liner against a realistic load requirement or agreed test method before mass production. Check how the filled bag performs when it is removed using the intended handling method. Compostability certification does not replace physical performance testing.

Environmental claims and certification marks on artwork should be checked against the applicable finished-product certification scope and authorization before printing.
MOQ, Lead Time & Ordering Info
Minimum Order Quantities
Typical custom-production MOQ starts from approximately 500 kg per size and specification.
Actual bag quantity depends on liner dimensions, thickness and individual bag weight.
Mixed-size programs can be reviewed separately because each size may require its own production MOQ.
Samples and trial arrangements can be reviewed according to the project specification and available stock.
Lead Time
Production lead time is confirmed after the final specifications, artwork, order quantity, packaging requirements and production schedule have been reviewed.
Custom printing, multiple sizes and special packaging may affect the production schedule.
Shipping & Logistics
Export supply can be arranged under terms such as EXW, FOB or CIF according to the project.
Packaging options include export-ready cartons and palletized loads.
Carton dimensions, shipment weight, pallet configuration and estimated CBM can be calculated after the final liner and packing specifications are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Measure the bin opening and height, then allow for overhang and any closure requirement. Litre capacity is a starting point, but it does not determine one universal liner size.
Provide the expected waste load, moisture level, collection frequency and removal method. Thickness and seal construction can then be assessed against the intended use.
Yes. Bags per roll, paper-core or coreless construction, labels and carton packing can be reviewed for a B2B project.
No. Confirm that the relevant program permits full-bin liners, then check the proposed liner against the bin dimensions and handling method.
No. Confirm both the applicable finished-product certification scope and the local collection program’s acceptance rules.
