PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled)
80-90%* of each bag is made with 3rd Party Certified post-consumer recycled plastic.
- Giving Waste a New Life
- PCR comes from plastic films that have been used, recovered, and recycled into new products that can be used again.
- Diverting Plastic from Landfills
- Avoids adding more virgin polyethylene to the world by diverting ‘waste’ from landfills and incineration
- Strong & Reliable
- Similar properties you’ve come to depend on with traditional plastic; shelf-stable
*Our bags are made from a resin blend of PCR and Green Plastic from Sugarcane. Trace amounts of virgin polyethylene are used in the colorant of the bag. We are working towards eliminating all virgin PE elements in the near future.
