Unitex® Trash Liners, Eco Strong™, Low Density, Black

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, environmentally responsible product, then Eco Strong™ can liners are the answer. These liners are formulated from recycled virgin resin and high quality post-consumer resin. These are available in a number of assorted sizes and gauges. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Eco Strong™ liners are manufactured with up to 70% recycled content.

Choose these linear low-density liners for disposing of refuse with sharp corners and protruding edges, such as reams of paper, magazines, or other trash content common in office environments, commercial applications, and public spaces.

For refuse with no sharp objects or corners, such as that common in food service environments, we recommend Unitex High-Density Liners

How to Choose the Right Size Liner
A quick and easy way to save money is to simply make sure you’re using the right sized liner for your trash cans. Take a look at your trash cans right now: is there a lot of extra plastic hanging over the rim? If there is, you’re wasting money on all that unused plastic.

Here's a handy guide for choosing the right sized liner for your cans. (Note: This is just a general guide. Odd-shaped containers may require a larger or longer bag. If you’re unsure as to what size liner you need, contact a Jon-Don representative for assistance at 800-556-6366.)

Step 1: Using a flexible tape measure, measure the circumference of your container at the top.
Step 2: Measure the height of your container.
Step 3: Add the numbers together and match them to the guide below to find the right size liner for your can.

• Up to 65 inches – 8-10 gallons
• 65-73 inches – 12-16 gallons
• 73-86 inches – 20-30 gallons
• 86-96 inches – 33 gallons
• 96-101 inches – 40-45 gallons
• 101-108 inches – 55-60 gallons

What trash bag gauge is right for you?
Too thick wastes money, too thin increases messes from ripped bags and promotes unnecessary double bagging.

• Gauge: Term used to describe a liner's thickness. Low-density liners are measured in mils. High-density liners are usually measured in microns. Low-density liners are thicker than high-density liners.
• Mil: Based on thousands of an inch (0.000). Low-density liners are best used for carrying large loads or for carrying loads with sharp objects.
  • .35 - .45 - Light Duty
  • .70 - .95 - Medium Duty
  • 1.10 - 1.50 - Heavy Duty
  • 1.70 - 2.0 - Extra Heavy Duty
• Micron: Based on one hundred thousand thousandths of an inch (0.000000). Common high-density liner thickness range between 6 and 22 microns. High density liners are ideal for food service or for disposal of trash with liquids.
