Water-soluble bin liners that dissolve completely in digesters for plastic-free food waste disposal. Zeropac's dissolvable bin liners streamline food waste processing across commercial kitchens, hospitality venues and food service facilities throughout Australia. Line your bin with the dissolvable liner, fill it with food scraps during service, then place the entire sealed bag directly into your digester where it breaks down completely.

Made from PVOH (Polyvinyl Alcohol) film that is 3 times stronger than LDPE plastic. Australian stock ensures fast delivery when you need restocks urgently.

Plastic-Free Food Waste Processing

Traditional plastic bin liners create extra work in digester operations. Staff must remove plastic liners before loading food waste into digesters, creating additional handling steps and generating plastic disposal costs. This slows down waste processing during busy service periods.

Dissolvable bin liners eliminate these steps entirely. Line your bin like normal, fill it with food scraps throughout service, tie it off when full, then place the entire sealed bag directly into your digester system. The PVOH liner dissolves completely during the digester cycle, leaving no plastic residue, no microplastics and no additional waste requiring disposal.

The bag breaks down along with the food waste inside, creating a seamless processing workflow that saves time and eliminates plastic waste from your operations.

Why Switch to Dissolvable Bin Liners

  • 3 times stronger than LDPE - Superior load strength holds heavy food scraps, wet waste and dense organic materials without tearing
  • Goes straight into digesters - No bag removal required, place sealed liner directly into digester system for complete breakdown
  • Dissolves fully during processing - Bag breaks down completely in digester cycle, leaving no plastic residue or microplastics
  • Marine safe and eco-friendly - Made from non-toxic, water-soluble PVOH that biodegrades completely, no environmental pollution
  • Eliminates plastic disposal - Replace single-use plastic bin liners that require removal and landfill disposal
  • Faster workflow - Skip bag removal and waste transfer steps, sealed liners go directly from bin to digester

How Dissolvable Bin Liners Work

The digester-ready process:

  1. Line your bin: Place dissolvable liner in waste bin like any standard bin liner
  2. Collect food waste: Fill liner with food scraps and organic waste during service
  3. Load into digester: Place entire sealed bag directly into digester system
  4. Bag dissolves: PVOH liner breaks down completely during digester cycle (60°C+)
  5. Complete processing: Food waste and bag material process together, leaving zero plastic residue

The bag breaks down along with food waste during normal digester operation. No bag removal, no plastic disposal, no additional handling steps required.

Food Waste Processing Applications

Dissolvable bin liners streamline digester operations and food waste processing across commercial facilities:

Superior Strength for Food Waste

Dissolvable bin liners are engineered to be 3 times stronger than LDPE plastic, providing superior durability for demanding commercial kitchen operations.

Strength advantages:

  • Heavy food waste capacity - Holds dense food scraps, wet organic materials and kitchen waste without tearing during collection
  • Sharp object resistance - Withstands contact with bones, shells and food packaging in waste streams
  • Tear resistance - Prevents splitting when bags are filled to capacity during busy service periods
  • Secure transport - Maintains integrity during trolley transport from kitchen to digester systems

The enhanced strength means fewer bag failures, reduced food waste spillage and consistent performance throughout collection and digester loading operations.

Seamless Digester Integration

Water-soluble liners eliminate bag removal from digester workflows. Traditional plastic bin liners require removal before digester processing. Kitchen staff must open bags, empty contents into digesters, then dispose of plastic liners separately. This creates extra handling steps, slows down processing during busy periods and generates ongoing plastic disposal costs.

Zeropac's water-soluble PVOH liners change this completely. They go directly into digesters while sealed. The liner breaks down during the processing cycle along with the food waste inside, leaving no plastic residue or microplastics. Staff simply load sealed bags from collection bins straight into digesters.

The digester-compatible system speeds up workflow while eliminating plastic waste from your food service operations.

Digester workflow benefits:

  • Complete breakdown - PVOH liners dissolve entirely during digester cycles, processing along with food waste
  • No bag removal - Eliminates time-consuming step of opening bags and emptying contents before processing
  • No microplastics - PVOH biodegrades completely during processing, leaving zero plastic fragments
  • Faster processing - Sealed bags load directly from bins to digesters, reducing handling time
  • Zero plastic disposal - No plastic liner waste requiring removal and landfill disposal

Why switch from plastic bin liners to water-soluble liners:

Feature Plastic Bin Liners Water-Soluble PVOH Liners
Digester Loading Must remove bag and empty contents Load entire sealed bag directly into digester
Processing Steps Open bag, empty waste, dispose of plastic liner Single step from bin to digester, bag breaks down with food waste
Plastic Waste Generates plastic disposal costs and landfill waste Zero plastic waste, complete biodegradation
Microplastics Contributes to plastic pollution Complete biodegradation, no microplastics
Environmental Impact Ongoing landfill burden Biodegrades completely, marine safe
Workflow Speed Additional emptying and disposal steps slow processing Faster processing, sealed bags load directly

 

Hospitality and food service facilities switching from plastic bin liners to water-soluble PVOH liners report significant reductions in food waste processing time, elimination of plastic disposal costs and improved workflow efficiency during digester operations.

Marine Safe and Eco-Friendly

Dissolvable bin liners are made from PVOH (Polyvinyl Alcohol), a water-soluble material that biodegrades completely without harming marine ecosystems.

Environmental benefits:

  • No microplastics - PVOH breaks down into water, carbon dioxide and biomass, leaving no plastic particles
  • Marine safe - If liners enter waterways, they biodegrade without harming marine life or accumulating in food chains
  • Compostable - Complete biodegradation in water treatment systems and natural environments
  • Reduced landfill - Eliminates plastic bin liner waste requiring disposal after each use
  • Lower carbon footprint - Remove transport and disposal of single-use plastic bin liners from operations

Commercial facilities reduce environmental impact while improving hygiene standards and staff safety through elimination of single-use plastic bin liners.
