Non woven polypropylene is a practical fabric because it is strong and extremely lightweight, so it is convenient to carry as well as inexpensive to ship. The fabric is also comfortable and soft; it is commonly used to make surgical masks and gowns.

Non woven polypropylene bags promote a greener earth because they are reusable, easy to clean, recyclable, and sometimes made with recycled products. These bags can be quickly wiped clean, and some of them are machine washable in cold water if they are drip dried. Most non woven polypropylene bags are made of 5-type recyclable plastic. Reusing and recycling them could save many standard plastic bags from sitting in a landfill. After the non woven polypropylene bags have been recycled, they may even be made into new totes.

I am so excited – my friends and I have rented a home at the Jersey Shore  for the summer.  So, look out Snooki  here we come.   We’ll all have to share a rather small bathroom.  Trying to figure out a practical and efficient way to keep my toiletries together. When I spied a 6 bottle wine tote. Oh Yeah,  this is going work just fine.   I’ve got room for 1 bottle shampoo,1 bottle of conditioner.  My round brush and comb, one for some makeup necessities, another for moisturizer, and one slot left over for my toothpaste and brush.   I can carry it back and forth in one nice tidy little package.   Now I need another one for the beach, for my frozen water bottles, cell phone and keys,  a place for my flip flops, and don’t’ forget the suntan lotion.

This month at the FIFA World Cup, football’s top stars will show their green spirit by wearing jerseys that have been made from recycled plastic water bottles. Nike, which manufactured the jerseys, has announced that many of the world’s leading players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Robinho and Ji-Sung Park will take to the pitch in South Africa, wearing environmentally friendly jerseys.

In addition to five-time world champions Brazil, the Netherlands, Portugal, United States, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Serbia and Slovenia are wearing plastic. The company states that the jerseys are made entirely from recycled polyester and each one is produced from up to eight recycled plastic bottles.

Manufacturing these “eco-jerseys” has helped Nike divert 13 million plastic bottles from landfills. Moreover, if all the jerseys were laid end-to-end, they would cover more than 3000km, which is more than the entire coastline of South Africa.

The kits are created from bottles sourced from Japanese and Taiwanese landfill sites, which were then melted down to produce new yarn. The process saves raw materials and reduces energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to manufacturing virgin polyester. Nike also claims that there will be no adverse body reaction to the plastic, as the product has been carefully tested.

Plus Packaging Inc. is a firm believer in recycling plastic/paper when possible, and offers a full line of products that are made from recycled or contain recyled products.
