Paper
- It takes more than four times as much energy to manufacture a paper bag as it does to manufacture a plastic one.
- The majority of paper bags are made by heating wood chips under pressure at high temperatures in a chemical
solution. The use of these toxic chemicals contributes to both air pollution. - Paper bag production generates 70% more air and 50 times more water pollutants than plastic bags.








To transport the same number of bags it takes 1 truck to deliver plastic bags and 7 to deliver paper bags.

So what are the options?

GREEN PLASTIC
A renewable alternative to conventional polyethylene, produced from sugarcane.

COMPOSTABLE
An ideal option to traditional plastic, manufactured from plant derivatives.

DEGRADABLE
A plastic containing a chemical additive that causes molecular break down.

RECYCLE CONTENT
Polyethylene films made with a percentage of recycled content.

REDUCE
Resource Efficient Materials (REM) lightweight film technology.

RECYCLE
Initial have created our own closed loop recycling system

We have already achieved and surpassed this target. All our polythene bags are fully recyclable and can be produced in several material options.
Post Industrial Waste (PIW) Post Consumer Waste (PCW) refers to
another life product, which is then recovered and re-granulated.
- Product costs
- Actual material requirements
- Transportation
- Storage
Goods returned to customer site in polythene packaging
The discarded polythene packaging is collated and bailed.
We collect from our customers site for re-processing
back into plastic granule to be re-used.
