Bagging a Food Waste Liners, One Ribbon at a Time

If you’re responsible for delivering food waste collections in your local authority, you know the pressure. Targets, budgets, resident complaints – it all lands on your desk. And if your scheme is going to thrive (not just survive), you need high participation, low contamination, and seamless logistics.

That all starts with a simple but powerful tool: proper food waste liners.

At Cromwell, we’ve been supporting councils across the UK for decades, and here’s what we’ve learned: get the basics right, and everything else runs smoother.

Why the Liner Matters More Than You Think

This isn’t just about giving residents a bag. It’s about setting the tone for the whole service.

A clearly marked, high-quality food waste liner turns an inconvenient chore into a clean, simple routine. No leaks, no odours, no guesswork, just a clear message that says: we’ve made this easy for you to do right.

It removes the barriers to participation, reduces contamination at the kerbside, and saves your crews a world of pain.

The Re-order Ribbon: Effortless Stock Control, Right at the Bin

Want to reduce the chances of calls, emails, and supply complaints from residents? Add our re-order ribbon.

Each roll of Cromwell liners comes with a brightly coloured ribbon. When residents are running low, they tie it to their food caddy or bin. Your crew sees it, drops off a new roll. No paperwork. No over-ordering. No one left short.

It’s a lightweight touch that delivers heavyweight results; smoother operations, better data, and happier households.

Low Impact, High Compliance. And Yes, Compostable.

Our food waste liners are EN13432 certified, compostable, and fully fit for purpose. They’re robust enough for multi-day use, colour-coded for clarity, and designed to reinforce good habits in the home.

Whether you’re just launching food waste collections or refreshing an existing scheme, our liners and ribbons are a fast win. Easy to roll out. Easy to manage. Easy to justify in your next performance report.
