Garbage bags play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, not only in our daily household routines but also across various industrial and commercial sectors. From kitchens and offices to hospitals, restaurants, and manufacturing plants, the right type of trash bag helps ensure efficient waste disposal, prevents unpleasant odors, and minimizes the risk of leaks or contamination. However, choosing the right garbage bag isn’t as simple as it seems, different environments and types of waste require specific bag designs and materials.

1. Types of garbage bags by shape

1.1. Star-Seal garbage bags

Star-seal trash bags are engineered with a unique star-shaped seal at the bottom, which allows the bag to conform more naturally to the shape of the trash can. This design distributes weight evenly and reduces stress points that can cause the bag to tear or leak.
These bags are among the most widely used due to their reliability and versatility. Whether you’re collecting light office waste or heavier kitchen refuse, star-seal bags offer superior strength and leak resistance. They are ideal for households, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, …

1.2. Drawstring garbage bags

Drawstring garbage bags combine functionality with convenience. Featuring a built-in drawstring closure, these bags allow users to seal the bag securely with a simple pull, no knots or additional ties required. This not only ensures hygiene by minimizing direct contact with waste but also makes carrying and disposal cleaner and quicker.
These bags are especially popular in domestic settings such as kitchens and bathrooms, as well as in offices and industrial workplaces. The drawstring design provides an easy grip for removal, making waste handling more efficient and user-friendly.

1.3. C-Fold garbage bags

C-Fold trash bags are named for their distinctive “C”-shaped fold, created during the manufacturing process. This folding method allows for compact storage and easy dispensing from rolls or packaging systems, making them a favorite in environments where space efficiency and quick access are essential.
Often found in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, and industrial facilities, C-Fold bags are well-suited for high-volume waste areas. 

1.4. Flat garbage bags

Flat garbage bags are one of the most traditional and commonly used types of trash bags for general waste collection. Designed with two flat surfaces sealed on three sides (bottom and two sides), and an open mouth, these bags are easy to use and compatible with most standard trash bins.

Due to their simple design, flat bags are cost-effective to produce, making them a popular choice for businesses, cleaning services, and facilities that require large quantities of bags on a daily basis. While they may lack the advanced sealing structure of star-seal bags, flat garbage bags still perform effectively in a wide range of light to medium-duty applications, such as: Home and restaurant kitchens, clinics and hospitals, public cleaning services, offices, ……

2. Types of garbage bags by material

2.1. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) garbage bags

LDPE trash bags stand out for their flexibility and excellent water resistance. With high durability and superior resistance to punctures, they are an ideal choice for wet waste, kitchen trash, and even heavy-duty trash or sharp industrial objects.

2.2. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) garbage bags

HDPE trash bags are known for their strength and good heat resistance. However, they are thinner and more susceptible to punctures and tears than LDPE bags. They are typically preferred for light, dry, and everyday household waste.
