Biodegradable bags help dogs “Go Green”

Monday, March 29th, 2010
greenpuppyEco-friendly pet owners clean up after their pets. Unfortunately, most of the bags that we use
to pick up pet waste are not eco-friendly.  Polyethylene plastic bags can take up to 100 years to biodegrade. Now we have a smarter, eco-friendly, solution!
 
Manufacturers have now developed corn based “plastic” bags that are 100% biodegradable in 45 days! These biodegradable corn based bags are a practical way to reduce plastic trash that accumulates in land fills and is hazardous to wildlife and the environment.
 
Keep your neighborhood and parks poop-fee, and help the environment by using these eco-friendly and biodegradable bags!!

Is Stretch Film Recyclable?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Recently I have been asked the question “Is stretch film recyclable?” at least once a day.  I figured I would post the answer to our blog so that all of you could have the answer:

Stretch film is made almost entirely of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) with small percentages of other types of polyethylene for property enhancement. All materials used in the production of film are completely recyclable as low density polyethylene.  Low density polyethylene is a #4 recycled item which means it can be recycled, but does not necessarily mean that the material will be accepted at your local recycling plant.

We are proud to announce two  new stretch film products we are currently carring.

1.  The U.S. market is seeing a shift in the stretch film industry to lighter, stronger pallet wrap in both hand and machine grade film. Many top manufacturers have indicated that within 3 - 5 years the 80 gauge will no longer be sold in the market place because of current soaring cost to produce film.

This new line is called HYBRiD80 that will give distributors a break from high priced (me too 80 gauge) standard pallet film an opportunity to enhance their sales efforts.  This line was created to help distributors develop new business, maintain profit margins and also to offer your customers something new to talk about.

2. Custom printing of pallet stretch wrap with low minimums, prepaid delivery nationwide. Lock in profitable re-orders for authorized distributors. Shipping and marketing benefits. Custom printed pallet wrap improves load appearance, cuts pilferage, advertise and deter tampering.
