If your business uses or comes into contact with hazardous materials, friable materials or disposable materials that need to be contained, drum liners are the solution. Every day it gets more and more challenging to dispose of hazardous chemicals, blood and body fluids, or friable materials. Regulations make it harder and harder to maintain standards of removal and disposal.

However, using drum liners affords you additional security against leaks and spills. There is nothing worse than exposing yourself to fines and the environment and your employees to hazards through spillage.

In any industrial facility, where hazardous materials are being disposed of or removed, the possibility of exposure cannot be ignored.

"How do we use less plastic" and "is there any biodegradable plastics" are two questions that are common today with the efforts that businesses are making to “go green”. Manufacturers and garbage experts say that in the long run, plastic wins over paper.

There are different types of biodegradable plastic, and their costs and uses are very different. The two main types are oxo-biodegradable and hydro-biodegradable.  Oxo-biodegradable plastics are “good” biodegradable plastic. When purchasing biodegradable plastic bags and plastic products, be sure the product is made from Oxo-biodegradable plastic.

Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic bags are better for the environment.  The technology is based on a very small amount of pro-degradant additive being added into the manufacturing process, which changes the behavior of the plastic. Once oxo-biodegradable plastic bags are exposed to UV rays or intense heat, they start to degrade into natural waste.
 
There is little or no additional cost involved in products made with this technology, which can be made with the same machinery as conventional plastic products.

Hydro-biodegradable plastics are not genuinely “renewable” because they use quite a bit of fossil fuels and produce greenhouse gases.

Paper bags use 300% more energy to produce. They are also bulky and heavy to store and are generally not strong enough. They also emit methane in a landfill.

So before your company decides to eliminate plastic, be sure you understand the different types of biodegradable plastics and the cost to the environment for paper.

At Atlantic Poly, many of our plastic bags, shrink wrap and packing materials are made with Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic; contact us.

Buying American products can save jobs and redeem the American brand. That doesn’t just mean buying Ford, Chrysler and Kodak, it means buying products that are made in America.

Many products are made in China and other counties that are often comparable. So why buy American? Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan, says that if the nation decides that the logical choice is to stop making things in the U.S., there would be more consequences than just massive job losses.
 
Buying American creates American jobs as well. Consumers control the marketplace, Buy American.  When consumers choose American-manufactured products, they support American jobs — the more US products purchased, the more US jobs are created.
