Finding great looking, affordable plastic bags has been wonderful for us. We always tell our customers about the virtues of our bags, and they love the fact that they look so great.

We’re seeing these types of operations growing – here’s another example from a blog I recently posted: http://2valuable2waste.com/blog/2010/02/recycling-step-by-step/ Thanks for the info!

What really convinced me was the fact in the number of times you can recycle paper versus plastic. While paper can only be recycled 6 to 8 times before the fibers become too short to be useful, plastic can be recycled thousands of times. Maybe State and Federal governments should spend more time encouraging the recycling of plastic versus banning plastic bags in retail stores. Doesn't it make sense to encourage the use and recycling of a material that can be used thousands of times versus only 8 times?

These bags look and feel great, and best of all they hold up the same as their new counterparts. Plastic requires less energy to manufactor, ship and recycle than paper. So, if you have not made the change, what are you waiting for? Oh, by the way, its CHEAPER too! Trashy bags that are not trashy!
