What is LLDPE plastic?

LLDPE is Linear Low Density Polyethylene and happens to be the most flexible of the plastic sheeting films that are used to manufacture garbage bags. LLDPE is blended form of LDPE where the film has much more flexibility, stretchable strength, and more conformability while being much more pliable and softer than other types of plastic.

What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE?

Although both materials are polyethylene, they each have different properties. LDPE is softer, more flexible and melts much more easily than its HDPE counterpart. Whereas, HDPE is a harder plastic film and has a higher chemical resistance. HDPE can also withstand higher temperatures without melting as quickly as the LDPE plastic.

How thick is a garbage bag?

Linear low density (LLD) bags are measured in mil which is one thousandth of an inch thick. The thinnest mil is 0.7 mil while the thickest is 4.0 mil. When shopping for the best garbage bags for your waste needs be sure to use a lower mil count for lighter, smaller trash and opt for a higher mil count for larger, heavier trash with sharp-edges. Low mil count is usually used for residential locations whereas a higher mil count tends to be used in more industrial and commercial settings for the best waste management practices.

Why is gauge not always important?

The thickness of a garbage bag alone is not a good enough judge of how strong the bag will be. Since the development of improved LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) resin in the liner, the trash bag industry has completely changed the standard method for selecting the correct can liners. These newer materials have allowed manufacturers to produce thinner, lighter trash bags that are also stronger and more durable than the thicker bags that used to be produced from low density resin. Therefore, gauge alone cannot determine the strength of a garbage bag anymore. Rather than marketing the thickness of a garbage bag, it is now more common to use terminology that describes the type of duty the bag will perform well in, like light, medium, heavy or extra-heavy duty tasks. 

What are the advantages of linear low density can liners?

1. They have increased stretch and puncture resistance over high density can liners
2. They have many application usages
3. LLD is the most common type of film used in the garbage bag industry today
4. Linear low density can liners is manufactured in a wide variety of colors
5. The newer linear low film can be made at a lighter gauge with increased strength

What is some commonly-used terminology in the trash bag industry?

Resin is the basic raw material that trash bags are made of. There are 3 types of resins: Low Density, Linear Low
Density and High Density Polyethylene.

Low Density Polyethylene is an outdated resin that is not used much today since it has been replaced by Linear Low Density Polyethylene.

Linear Low Density Polyethylene is a resin that is highly tear and puncture resistant. LLDP is the best plastic for manufacturing liners that require strength and stretch, such as for holding waste with jagged, sharp edges.

High Density Polyethylene is a resin that is normally available in a lower gauge and is more temperature resistant.

Post-Consumer and Post-Industrial Polyethylene is made from recycled post-consumer plastics such as industrial scraps and milk jugs. These are reprocessed and blended with other types of resins to yield new high quality liners.

Gauge is a term that is used to describe the thickness of a can liner. Low density liners are measured in mils, whereas High Density liners are measured in microns.

Mil is one thousandth of an inch thick measurement. Mils are used to measure the gauge of a low density liner.
Micron is one thousandth of a millimeter thick measurement. Microns are used to measure the gauge of a high density liner.
