Checklist for buying more environmentally friendly
- Where is it made? Buying regionally/locally will limit the ecological transportation impact. We are a domestic manufacturer in Albany, New York and Thomasville, NorthCarolina.
- What is the material? Options include recycled content material (post industrial and post consumer), biodegradable material, and calcium carbonate material (non petroleum based resin)
- If printed, what are the inks used? We offer printing using water based inks that do not emit VOC’s (Volatile Organic Chemicals) into the air during production. Solvent based inks do emit chemicals.
- What is the end use? Can the package be down gauged without sacrificing performance? Down gauging will save cost and save resources. We offer free hand made samples to help determine if a thinner bag will work.
