ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS

Why green sacks are the environmental choice

Imported refuse sacks from the Far East could generate nearly three times the emissions of CO2 than The Green Sack®. Moreover, compared to using virgin polythene it is estimated that each tonne of polythene bpi recycled:

  • Prevents the release of 1.5 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
and
  • Cuts sulphur dioxide emissions by 33%.
  • Cuts nitrous oxide emissions by 50%.
  • Saves 1.8 tonnes of crude oil.
  • Reduces water usage by 90%.
  • Reduces energy use by two thirds.***
Why Green Sacks are good for your customers?
  • In standard tear resistance tests a 20 micron Green Sack has equal or better performance whilst being a third thinner.
  • Green Sacks are more resistant to rips and tears because the primary source material includes tough farm polythene.
and
  • Green Sacks are made without using the amount of additives that reduce the quality of many rival refuse sacks.
