"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.

Dumpster liners are huge garbage bags that are easy to fit in any dumpster. You can order dumpster liners in several thicknesses, sizes, chemical make-ups, uses, and packaging. Different industries and uses require different liner requirements.

Concrete companies, asbestos abatement companies, environmental services and all businesses of this type rely on dumpster liners to contain hazardous materials. Many states even demand the use of dumpster liners.

As an owner, manager or site superintendent you know that best business practices require dumpster liners. Insulation and asbestos abatement professionals are required by law to contain all materials which are hazardous to the environment and to public health.
 
Concrete companies have been the target of environmental agencies for years. The main concern with regards to concrete is the run-off of wash out material. Also, often manufacturing facilities produce a daily amount of liquid refuse or semi-solid refuse. Again, these companies depend on dumpster liners for daily operation to maintain man-hours spent on clean up.

Contact Atlantic Poly for size and specs of dumpster liners.

If you are in the business of packing, storing or shipping you use packing peanuts and bubble wrap. Obviously these are two products that offer protection for items when being shipped or or stored.
