In the meantime, we’ve outlined a few key attributes you should look for in the best garbage bags for warehouses and distribution centers.
The Best Garbage Bags for Warehouses and Distribution Centers Are Low Density
All trash bags are made from PE resin materials. When deciding which garbage bag is right for your specific needs, you need to determine whether you want it to be made of low-density or high-density resin.
High-Density Garbage Bags for W/DCs
High-density (HD) resins are ideal for lightweight materials and are usually geared towards office spaces and bathrooms. If you are looking for a heavy-duty trash bag to carry sturdy or sharp debris, you'll be best suited to avoid HD resin garbage bags.
Low-Density Garbage Bags for W/DCs
Low-density (LD) resins on the other hand are perfect for carrying waste that can puncture, tear, or rip through regular trash bags like a knife through butter. The durability of LD resin trash bags allows them to withstand wood, cardboard, glass, metal, and other materials commonly found in warehouses, construction sites, or distribution centers. Needless to say, the first step to choosing the best garbage bags for warehouses and distribution centers is to start with low-density can liners.
Thicker Trash Bags Are Best for Warehouses and Distribution Centers
Next on the agenda is to choose the proper gauge (thickness of the bag) for your W/DC, which is measured in Mil (.001 of an inch). The smaller the Mil, the lighter the trash bag. Low-density and linear low-density resins can go all the way up to 3.0 Mil. These thicker trash bags are regularly used by construction contractors.
However, when it comes to choosing the right thickness, there are no one-size-fits-all approaches:
Instead, it's best to base the can liner thickness on the specific application. In doing so, you can reduce waste, minimize spills, and generate savings. Don't hesitate to reach out to the team at AAA Polymer for tailored guidance and assistance.
Warehouses and Distribution Centers Are Best Off With Flat Seals
Choosing the proper seal is vital when it comes to choosing the best heavy-duty trash bag. The three options to choose from are gusset seals, star seals, and flat seals. Of the three, we usually recommend you go with flat seals.
Although star seals are good at preventing leaks and gusset seals can pack great volume for their size, flat seals have both of those advantages and are the best at preventing tears from sharp or heavy objects. Flat seal bags don't conform to receptors as well as star and gusset seals, but most warehouses and distribution centers benefit from having free-standing trash bags anyway.
Bigger Bags Aren't Always Better
According to research, most facilities and warehouses use up to 30% more trash bags than what is required. Meaning if you are spending thousands of dollars a year on trash bags, the savings from cutting up to 30% of usage can equate to substantial savings.
Picking the proper size bag will not only help you save money but it will also help reduce source reduction. Be sure to use the proper bags for each part of the facility to prevent unnecessary waste as well (for example, bathrooms don't need low-density trash bags).
