Eco-Cycle bags contain a minimum of 20% post-consumer recycled materials. Post-consumer recycled materials come from plastic that has been used and recycled by consumers. If the post-consumer waste hadn’t been recycled, it would have gone into the landfill. See our flyer for more details. Only Eco-Cycle bags meet the ASTM definition of post-consumer recycled materials.
They are also recyclable. Recyclable bags are reprocessed into new products like outdoor decking and railing, construction items, and bags. Eco-Cycle bags are accepted at thousands of retail locations across the country that have plastic grocery bag recycling bins. Outlets are listed at www.plasticbagrecycling.org.
Eco-Cycle bags have information printed on them telling consumers how easy it is to recycle, rather than throw away their plastic bags.
With Eco-Cycle Bags, you can actively promote the steps you are taking to keep plastic bags out of your community’s landfill.
They cost the same or less and are just as strong as conventional bags.

According to the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides, bags that are thrown away go to landfills where they degrade slowly, if at all, even if they contain biodegradable additives. |
