The Ultimate FOGO Bin Solution for NSW & VIC
Stop the "Stink Bomb"
Standard bioplastic liners act as sealed moisture traps, triggering foul anaerobic fermentation. Our kraft paper facilitates up to 44% moisture evaporation, promoting aerobic breakdown to naturally neutralise odours.
Zero "Bin Juice" Leaks
While standard newspaper turns to pulp, our liners are engineered with a high-density fibre matrix. Tested over a strict 70-hour empirical stress test with wet food waste, they deliver a 100% leak-proof experience.
Break the Maggot Cycle
Fruit flies are biologically drawn to the acetic acid caused by trapped, fermenting wet waste. By actively drying out your FOGO rubbish, our breathable paper destroys the damp breeding ground pests require.
Backed by Real Australian Council Data
We didn’t just engineer a better bag; we solved a statewide crisis. We analysed over 500 real household comments from local councils across New South Wales and Victoria. The verdict is clear: standard council-supplied liners are failing.
Discover the real data behind the "slushy mess," the unbearable odours, and the pest infestations—and see why everyday Australians are permanently switching to our AS 4736 (Commercial) Certified Compostable paper bag.
Leave No Trace. Leave No Smell

Your Small Swap, Our Massive Australian Impact

Why We Act: Our Warming Australia
2026 Victorian bushfires are not a coincidence — they are a consequence of a warming climate.
Carbon emissions are the root driver of global warming. Beyond fossil fuels, industrial pollution, and deforestation, high-carbon linear consumption — especially plastic waste — continues to fuel climate disasters.
Australia's warming reality:
• Since 1910, average temperatures have risen by ~1.51°C
• Every decade since the 1950s has been warmer than the last — a 70+ year accelerating trend
At around 1.5°C of warming, severe climate impacts are already here — with escalating bushfire risk among the most devastating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Compostar paper food waste bags different from ordinary paper bags?
Compostar's reinforced 5L paper food waste bags feature a self-standing design, strengthened paper structure and reinforced base. Unlike ordinary paper bags, they are specifically designed to handle wet food scraps, helping reduce leakage, tearing and base failure during everyday use.
Can Compostar paper bags hold wet food waste without leaking?
Yes. Compostar's reinforced paper bags have undergone approximately 72 hours of wet-waste and leak-resistance testing under specified conditions. They are designed to handle food scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds and other moist organic waste. Actual performance may vary depending on moisture levels, temperature and usage conditions.
How strong are Compostar paper food waste bags?
Compostar paper bags have undergone an approximately 10 kg static-load test under controlled conditions. Their reinforced structure also helps resist punctures from irregular food scraps, including bones and shells. The test demonstrates structural strength under specified conditions rather than a guaranteed carrying capacity for every use.
Where can Compostar paper food waste bags be used?
Compostar's 5L paper bags are suitable for kitchen food-scrap collection and selected commercial or outdoor applications, including cafés, hospitality venues, camping, picnics, BBQs and outdoor dining. Their self-standing design makes them convenient for temporary food-waste collection, even where a dedicated caddy is unavailable.
Are Compostar paper food waste bags certified and accepted in FOGO bins?
Compostar's reinforced paper food waste bags are certified to AS 4736 for commercial composting within the applicable certification scope. However, FOGO acceptance varies by local council, waste contractor and organics processing facility. Always confirm local collection requirements before placing bags in a FOGO bin.
