Can liners, also known as garbage bags, play a crucial role in waste management and maintaining cleanliness in various environments. Numerous households and businesses use TDI’s trash bags to collect and dispose of waste effectively.

In this blog, we’ll explore the different types of can liners and the benefits they offer.

Types of Can Liners

To distinguish between the different types of trash bags, we look at the resin material they’re made of:

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

On the other hand, LDPE makes bags more flexible and stretchable. This characteristic makes them ideal for light to medium-weight debris and are commonly used in office buildings, retail stores, and households.

LLDPE combines the strengths of HDPE and LDPE making them highly resistant to punctures and tears while providing excellent stretchability. LLDPE garbage bags are suitable for various applications, including food service, healthcare facilities, and janitorial services.
