UNNI 13-Gallon Compostable Bags 50 Count — 0.9 mil Extra-Thick, BPI & Home-Compostable

UNNI 13 Gallon Compostable Bags are extra-thick, plant-based liners designed to fit tall kitchen cans and break down in certified composting systems and at home.

These 13 gallon (49.2 L) compostable bags come 50 per roll and are made from reinforced 0.9 mil plant-based film to better resist kitchen scraps and everyday handling. Independently certified by BPI (ASTM D6400), CMA, and TÜV AUSTRIA OK compost HOME, the liners aim to replace conventional plastic while offering a durable option for food-waste collection in household and light commercial settings. They are sized for tall kitchen cans and include guidance on storage and use to keep performance consistent.

Will these bags stand up to daily kitchen waste?

Yes — the reinforced 0.9 mil thickness gives these bags more puncture and tear resistance than many lightweight compostable liners, so they tolerate fruit peels, coffee grounds, and other common scraps. They’re still compostable-certified, so durability is balanced with biodegradability.

• 0.9 mil film to resist punctures and tears
• Sized 23.75 in x 31.49 in to fit tall 13-gallon cans
• 50 bags per roll for frequent daily use
• Plant-based composition to reduce conventional plastic use

How do I compost these bags — at home or commercially?

UNNI liners carry certifications for both industrial and home composting, which means they are suitable for facilities that meet ASTM D6400 standards as well as backyard systems verified by TÜV AUSTRIA OK compost HOME. Local composting acceptance varies, so check municipal or private programs before disposal.

• BPI certified to ASTM D6400 for industrial composting
• OK compost HOME certified for backyard/home composting
• Field-tested by CMA to confirm performance in operating facilities
• Check local rules — commercial collection not guaranteed everywhere

How should I store and use these compostable liners for best results?

Store rolls in a cool, dry location and use them within nine months to preserve strength and compostability. Keep the roll inside packaging until needed and avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight, which can weaken the film over time.

• Store away from heat and humidity
• Use within 9 months for optimal performance
• Place bags in properly sized tall kitchen cans for secure fit
• Empty regularly to prevent excessive weight and strain

Are these bags an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic liners?

These bags are made from plant-based materials and carry multiple compostability certifications, so they reduce reliance on petroleum-derived plastics and can be composted where facilities or home systems accept certified items. That said, the environmental benefit depends on proper disposal into compatible composting streams rather than landfill.

• Plant-based composition reduces petroleum-plastic use
• Certified for industrial and home composting pathways
• Best climate benefit when placed in accepted compost systems
• Not a solution if disposed of in landfill without organics diversion

Who is this for: UNNI 13 Gallon Compostable Bags suit households, small cafes, offices, or anyone who wants a thicker compostable liner sized for tall kitchen cans. They’re a practical option for people seeking a stronger plant-based bag that still meets recognized composting standards—ideal when you have access to either municipal compost programs or verified backyard composting setups.
