You've seen trash bags, tons of them. You know there are endless differences and specifics to them, but as a business owner, you don't have the time to sit down and learn it all.
Let us make it easy for you with our trash can liner guide.
Can Liner Density
Your trash can liner's density is based on the resin used to produce it. The two main types of resin you'll see are HD or high density, and LD or low density.
High Density Trash Can Liners
High density liners are thinner and less puncture resistant, usually found in a "natural" but not fully clear color. Although they aren't as strong as their big brother, the low density can liner, they're economical and great for office bins and trash cans that are used for tossing out paper and lightweight trash. They're also very temperature resistant and combat odor well.
To keep it simple, high density trash can liners are:
lower priced
great for light duty uses
tearable by sharp objects
not stretchable
Suggested Uses:
paper, tissue, office
rags & towels
non sharp objects
Low Density Trash Can Liners
While high density trash can liners are thinner and built for light duty use, low density is just the opposite. Low density trash can liners are exactly what you need for your restaurant kitchen, building maintenance, or any other janitorial need. Low density and linear low density trash liners are typically black in color and come in much thicker strengths. They're also superior at stretching, making it much harder for them to rip and tear, an absolute necessity with any waste that isn't almost entirely paper. If you're transporting waste that has any kind of liquid in it, a tear in the trash bag means you're going to need to deal with a huge mess, a dry cleaning bill, and a serious shower. On the plus side, low density resin doesn't "zipper". What this means is that in the event that your trash bag does get a hole poked into it or gets a tear, the tear won't open up and tear open the entire bag.
To summarize, low density trash can liners are:
stronger
great for medium and heavy duty uses
won't tear or rip
stretchable
Suggested uses:
heavier waste
plastic utensils & foodservice disposables
food & drink
sharp objects
Conclusion
High density and low/linear low density can liners both have their place, and the choice is best made by identifying what type of trash you'll be disposing of. If there's one message to remember here, it's that high density can liners are less expensive, while low density can liners are stronger. If you can only go with one type of can liner, low density can handle it all.
