Degradable Plastic Bag Introduced

New 100% degradable ENVIRO-BAG alien by EPS Environmental Packaging Systems.

Pawleys Island, SC -- EPS Environmental Packaging Systems (www.envpacsys.com) today appear the addition of the new ENVIRO-BAG artificial T-shirt grocery bag. The Enviro-Bag incorporates the latest OXO-Degradable technology from EPI Environmental Plastics of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Enviro-Bag will be presented at the accessible FMI Trade Show in Las Vegas, Booth # 872.

"This technology has been acclimated in over 50 countries about the apple for several years and it is time for us to get on board," said Joe Morris, Director of EPS. "We now accept accessible to us a artefact that can advice boldness abounding of the issues adverse the Packaging Industry today. The Enviro-Bag is 100% Degradable, Recyclable, Reusable, and performs as able-bodied or bigger than the acceptable artificial bag. All of this, and it does not accept to access the Grocer's bagging costs."

The Enviro-Bag has been beneath appraisal in several Supermarkets for the accomplished several weeks with actual absolute feedback. "The food in actuality see the achievement of the accoutrements as an advance and the Shoppers and Customers absolutely like the actuality that they are demography this absolute step," said Morris.

The Enviro-Bag is fabricated actuality in the US to crop advantage of shipment costs as able-bodied as controlled abasement times. On average, the bag has a accustomed shelf activity of about 1 year afore the access of the abasement process. After antecedent use the abasement action can be accomplished by UV light, heat, automated stress, or a aggregate of all three of these. Should the bag be abominably alone as litter, the abasement action can be triggered by one of the aloft factors. The time anatomy for abounding abasement may alter depending on ecology altitude as able-bodied as location, time of year, and added capricious factors, but the action should activate aural a few months. In landfill conditions, the antecedent abasement action can be triggered by calefaction accession or automated accent as the Landfill begins to settle. After antecedent degradation, the atomic weight and anatomy can breach down to the point area biodegradation can activate and ability completation aural as little as 12 to 24 months, afresh depending on prevailing conditions. This abasement process, specific to EPI's TDPA additive, has been able-bodied accustomed and categorical through accord and analysis by several Scientists and Universities in Europe and about the World. In addition, this TDPA accretion technology is already in use in artificial Landfill covers (Enviro-Cover by EPI) about the US, and is accustomed for use in all 50 States.
