Black bag – Refuse Sacks, Compactor & Wheelie Liner

Black Bags for Waste Capture and Containment

When it comes to waste capture and containment, black bags – particularly refuse sacks – are the most recognisable and widely used solution, especially in domestic settings. From dry recyclables and litter to general household waste, black bags play a vital role in everyday waste management.

Cromwell Polythene offers a complete range of black sacks designed to handle a wide variety of waste streams. These include:

• Refuse sacks – ideal for household and commercial general waste

• Compactor and wheelie bin liners – built for bulkier or compressed waste

• Rubble sacks – designed for heavy-duty materials like bricks, plaster, and construction waste

Our products come in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and strengths, ensuring you have the right solution for your specific waste type.

All Cromwell black sacks are supported by the CHSA Plastic Refuse Sack Standard Accreditation Scheme, which now includes all recycling and waste sacks, even those previously outside the standard scope (e.g. non-standard dimensions).

This means customers can trust that “what’s on the box is in the box.” For CHSA-certified products, the performance standard is rigorously tested for design weights of 5kg, 8kg, 10kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, and 20kg – providing total confidence in strength and quality.

All of our products are engineered to provide maximum performance using minimal resources. This not only helps to reduce the volume of plastic used, it also helps by cutting carbon emissions during production and transportation.
