Encore™ Eco-Friendly Plastic Bags

Recycled Plastics: Encore™ recyclable products are made with a minimum of 40% total recycled material and can be up to 100%. Typically we use 10-15% Post Consumer recycled plastics along with our own recycling collection center for post industrial recycled plastics.

Recyclable: All Encore™ bags are 100% recyclable. Just return the bags to any plastics recycling collection point for complete re-use.

Non-toxic: Encore™ plastic bags contain no heavy metals above the US established minimum and use only non-polluting water-based inks that are better for the environment are used instead of other types of inks or import bags that are often laced with chemicals, heavy metals and toxic colorants.

High Performance/Cost-effective: Encore™ offers environmental solutions without incurring high costs or complex logistical issues. We use American ingenuity, recycled plastics and efficient equipment to keep costs down. Bags are strong and can match or exceed the holding power of any comparable plastic bags.

Encore™ Biodegradable Plastic Bags
A unique new additive can be used for made to order bags which allows Encore™ plastic bags to start biodegrading in 9 months. The bags will biodegrade into simple materials as found in nature, such as water, carbon dioxide and humus.

This new additive does not require oxygen or moisture for composting to begin biodegrading so the bags will naturally biodegrade even in landfill conditions and the bags are still completely recyclable.

Shelf life and reliability will not be affected. Encore™ biodegradable bags will maintain the benefits of strength, leak resistance, grease resistance, and less storage requirements until they are placed in an environment that cause the material to breakdown, i.e. soil and bacteria.
