Plastic bags get a bad wrap, but in actuality plastic bags are more “green” than paper bags. Using a recycled plastic bag brings that even a step further. A plastic bag made from recycled plastic means that there is a blend of recycled resin and virgin resin.

There are no 100% recycled plastic bags because the bag would have no integrity. It wouldn’t be very strong.  At Atlantic Poly we have recycled plastic bags. These recycled bags are normally made with a blend of 30% Recycled resin and 70% Virgin resin.

What is the recycled blend made of? It is made of post industrial scrap and post consumer scrap. From the names you can probably hazard a pretty good guess as to what they are but here is an explanation. Post Industrial Scrap is plastic collected from industrial and manufacturing facilities. Post Consumer Scrap is collected primarily from the retail/consumer market.

If you are interested in using recycled plastic bags at your business, do not hesitate to ask for a recycled logo to be added to the bag. Showing your company’s commitment to green business practices can go a long way. For information on recycled plastic bags, contact Atlantic Poly.

Does your company receive pallets of wrapped product? Do you use plastic stretch films and poly wraps when storing items in your warehouse? If you are disposing of Stretch Film, Pallet Wrap, Poly Bags, or Poly Films, contact Atlantic Poly. We can help you save your money and increase profit while saving the environment. Decrease waste in your company. Atlantic Poly turns that plastic waste into usable American made products such as Envirobags and roll-off dumpster liners.

We work very hard to maximize the use of recycled material in the entire supply process. With your post consumer and post industrial scrap we make our recycled plastic bags. Manufactured from at least 30% recycled content, they meet the requirements of state and federal recycling laws.
