Info

Our ‘reusable’ recycling bin liners are manufactured from ‘Virgin’ Polythene. This creates a lower carbon footprint than manufacturing a bag containing recycled material.

By using ‘Virgin’ material you are able to maintain an accurate and consistent degree of strength in the bags.

Bags which contain ‘regrind’ (recycled) filler have to be ‘over-engineered’ to overcome the fluctuations in poor quality regrind material that is used in the batch.

Ethylene is a ‘by product’ of refining petrol. No barrels of oil are not used specifically to produce Polythene

Around 40% more carbon is produced in manufacturing a recycled bag over a virgin polythene bag

Key Product Data

  • Bins & Liners manufactured in the UK (Low carbon footprint)
  • Bins manufactured from recycled fluted board
  • Recycled contents of bins up to 80% (typically around 70%)
  • Fluted Board is from sustainable source
  • Bin Liners are reusable (biodegradable bags cannot be recycled)
  • Bins are Biodegradable
  • Manufacturing miles = 99 (China typically 11,000 miles)
  • Manufacturing miles’ is the distance between our manufacturing point and our UK storage and distribution centre.
  • Our Bin Liners are manufactured from a ‘by product’ of petrol refining (Ethylene). It takes less energy to manufacture a virgin polythene liner than is does to manufacture a recycled bin liner. Unlike biodegradable liners, our polythene liners can be recycled. No barrels of oil are used specifically to make Polythene.

Our reusable bin liners are clear, this enables the contents of the bin to be clearly identified as recycled waste and not landfill waste.

Government ‘Pre Treatment’ regulations came into force October 2007. These regulations stipulate that all businesses must recycle part of their waste.

Landfill tax is increasing every year, making the disposal of conventional waste more expensive. Recycling may enable you to reduce your waste disposal costs.
