The polythene bag, known to many of us as the plastic bag, is ubiquitous with modern living, and has a multitude of uses.

There are many different types of waste disposal containers and sacks, the two prominent ones being standard plastic Waste Sacks, and specialised Clinical Waste sacks.

The whole of UK now follows a law where companies are required to charge customers for plastic carrier bags when they make a purchase from retailers.

Plastic bags are durable and reusable. This is perhaps why these bags have been the preferred packaging option for so many years.

A new law regarding plastic bags was enforced in October last year: Shops in England are now required to charge 5p for each single-use plastic bags.

News reports that at least one major greetings card retailer got around the 5p carrier bag law, could inspire other businesses to take a closer look at the carrier bag regulations, and find their own creative ways to the do the same.

Colour coded bags help to separate waste more effectively and optimise the recycling process. Collectors can see exactly what’s in the bag and it is easier for both them and the recycling complex to identify waste and capture as many recyclable items as possible.

Polythene is the 83 year old innovation who’s first major conquest would be in the fight against Germany in WW2 before going on to shape the worldwide future in packaging.

Polythene bags come in a variety of standard shapes and sizes, meaning that there’s an almost perfect fit for almost any packaging—and therein lies the problem: almost. Don’t you think that your business and its customers and clients deserve better than almost perfect?

There is one question that we’re asked more often than any other: are your clear plastic bags recyclable?

The answer? Yes!

Our bags may be clear, but as a company, we love being green!
