BenefitsWhen disposed of in a landfill or inadvertently littered, Earthwise bags will:

• Biodegrade into carbon dioxide, water and biomass

• Save valuable landfill space and extend landfill life

• Keep you ahead of environmental legislation

• Reduce the buildup of dangerous methane gas in landfill sites

100% Degradable Plastic• When Earthwise bags are exposed to sunlight or heat, a two-step degradation process is triggered that allows the plastic to breakdown through oxidation into smaller fragments.

• Over time, these fragments further convert to natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals.

• Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae will consume the smaller plastic fragments.

Completely Secure• Meets all Federal Reserve guidelines

• Easy-seal closure – simply press and it’s closed

• Strong, tough material… practically indestructible

• Heat-welded seams exceed the burst strength of the film

• VOID-evident closure tape head welded to the bag for maximum security

Completely Secure• VOID-evident closure includes features to protect against cold and heat tampering

• VOID-evident closure incorporates unique 2-color void message for instant tamper recognition

• Black saliva detection print in VOID message will disappear when exposed to moisture or saliva

• Sequential tracking numbers with large quick-read bar-codes for fast track/trace scanning
