Trash Bags, Large, 33 Gallon 15 ct. Seventh Generation
Description: These 33 gallon bags are great for big projects. While still made from recycled plastic, they are strong enough
to get the job done. We all know how important it is to recycle, to keep unnecessary amounts of garbage out of our overcrowded
landfills. By reusing plastic materials that have fulfilled their intended end use (called “post-consumer recycled material”)
and turning them into recycled products like this one, we play an important part in the overall recycling process. Using recycled
plastic saves energy and dramatically reduces toxic pollution! The process of manufacturing from recycled material requires
40% less energy compared to bags made from virgin plastic. This reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere
– and helps slow global warming. Processing crude petroleum into virgin plastic creates many dangerous chemicals. The 436
plastics production facilities in the United States emit over 37 million pounds of toxic air emissions and create over 2.5
billion pounds of production-related waste each year. This pollution is dramatically reduced or avoided entirely with trash
bags made from recycle materials. Ingredients: 100% recycled plastic (70% post-consumer, 30% pre-consumer).
