No, and this is the main advantage of a dissolvable PVOH bin liner over a conventional plastic one. The liner and its organic contents go straight into the processing or collection stream together, then the liner dissolves completely in hot water at 60°C. That removes the manual step of pulling a plastic liner out before the bin is emptied, which saves time on every collection and keeps staff from handling soiled waste. For commercial kitchens, hospitals and aged care facilities running food organics or FOGO programs, it also means no plastic ends up contaminating the organic waste stream. The result is a faster, cleaner and more hygienic bin changeover for high-volume sites.

No. The 73 litre dissolvable bin liner is room temperature stable and is designed to cope with the normal moisture of everyday food and organic waste. It only breaks down when it is exposed to sustained hot water above 60°C, so cold liquids, condensation and damp waste will not trigger it during normal use. The clear PVOH film is also around three times stronger than LDPE at the same thickness, so it holds up well even with wet, heavy loads. To keep it performing reliably, store the liners in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture, steam, heat and sunlight.

No. PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) dissolves fully into water and leaves behind no microplastics and no solid residue. It is fully biodegradable and marine safe, which is why dissolvable PVOH bin liners are a popular plastic-free choice for sustainability and procurement teams across Australia. Unlike conventional plastic liners, there is nothing to screen out, separate or send to landfill after the waste is processed. For the 73 litre liner, that makes it a strong fit for any facility working to cut plastic from its organic waste and meet its environmental targets.

Stored correctly in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and direct sunlight, Zeropac dissolvable PVOH bin liners have a shelf life of 5 years or more. PVOH shares the same long-term storage characteristics as conventional LDPE and HDPE film, so the liner does not degrade with age and stays stable until you need it. Each carton holds 250 liners, and we recommend rotating stock so older cartons are used first and keeping the liners in their original packaging until they are needed. Avoid storing them near heat sources, dishwashers, steam or wash-down areas where sustained hot water could start to affect the film.
