Eco Friendly Trashbag Buyer's Guide
October, 2008
Increasingly, recycled trash bags are making their way into
everyday homes and offices, and for good reason. More energy is consumed and more pollutants
are emitted by factories producing virgin-plastic items than by those of companies
that make recycled-plastic bags, such as Stout, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency. Also, our petroleum resources are depleted more slowly.
And while you may think that recycled bags are less effective because they still don't fully
biodegrade, remember that recycled bags get at least one more use before
taking up space in a landfill.
