Give consumers the bags they want! 

Research shows that consumers increasingly want alternatives to single-use plastic bags. Growing awareness of environmental issues, such as plastic pollution and its impact on wildlife and ecosystems, has driven demand for more sustainable options. Many consumers are actively seeking out products and companies that prioritize eco-friendly practices. This shift is reflected in the popularity of reusable bags, compostable bags, and other biodegradable alternatives. Additionally, legislative measures in various regions banning or taxing single-use plastics further encourage consumers to adopt greener practices. Retailers that offer sustainable bag options can enhance their brand image and increase loyalty by meeting the evolving preferences of their customers. 

This is why INFRA has teamed up with Crown Poly to offer competitive pricing on two more eco-friendly bag options:  

Compostable Produce Bags 

The Crown Poly Compostable Bags are made from 100% vegetable starches which makes them compostable and allows you to offer the most eco-friendly option to your customers. These bags can be reused for separate collection of organic waste.  These bags are certified for both commercial and home composting and will degrade within 1 year in compost, soil, fresh water, and saltwater. 

Certifications include: 

    • BPI Certified
    • OK Compost HOME Certified
    • ASTM D-6400
    • FDA Approved
    • CMA- Composter Approved 

Recycled Ocean Plastic Bags 

By using Recycled Ocean Plastic that was collected before they enter waterways to create these products, Crown Poly is helping reduce the amount of plastic waste pollution that enters the ocean each year, while also creating new jobs in developing communities and helping educate future generations.  

Benefits include:  

    • Working with communities in developing countries to clean up plastic along the coasts before it enters our oceans
    • Creating new jobs for local labor forces allowing them to support and care for their families
    • Providing school tuition and fees to the children of this labor force to improve their futures
    • Partnering with a top US-based recycling company to clean and recycle ocean plastic into PCR resin
