Important Facts• 500 billion to 1 trillion single-use plastic bags are used every year
• Plastic resin production has increased from 14 billion to 120 billion pounds over the past 3 generations
• Only 3% - 5% of plastics are recycled*

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
Why Choose Earthwise?• Corporate Environmental initiatives or directives
• Position your company as an environmentally responsible leader (“we care”)
• It’s the right thing to do
