Biodegradable Bags –

The Future of Point of Sale

The next visit to the check-out counter may echo with the words, “Will that be cotton or bio-plastic?”  Huh?  And after that trend is in full swing, the next question is likely to be, “Will that be jute or bamboo?”  Only Star Trek and David Suzuki can predict where we go from there.

Cotton, bio-plastic, jute, bamboo are just some of the upcoming trends for point of sale items.  Many companies are now committed to reducing waste, landfill and the long list of serious consequences to consumer use of plastic bags.  Factory Direct Promos offers many attractive and inexpensive reusable bags that tell your customers that you too are one of these dedicated businesses. 

Cotton has been around since the days of the Pharaohs and continues to be an eco-friendly, strong and very versatile fabric.  Cotton has a reputation for being a friendly fabric: breathable, soft, comfortable and sustainable.

Bio-plastics, much lesser known, are a type of plastics that have been derived from renewable sources such as corn starch or vegetable oil.  They are not made out of petroleum as are fossil fuel plastics.  Factory Direct Promos bio-plastic bags are designed to biodegrade.

Jute is derived from plants and is then made of spun fibers.  The natural product is strong and biodegradable.  The material created from the jute plant is rendered from its plant fibers being threaded or spun.  The jute plant is a fast grower and is known to wrangle carbon dioxide faster than most trees, therefore, its return to the earth offers this valuable component to continue in the soil. 

Bamboo, much more familiar than jute, is a very quickly renewing plant.  Although there remains debate as to whether it falls into the grass or tree category (mainly, it is considered to be of the grass family) there is no doubt as to what it is or what benefits it offers.  Consumers know bamboo for its strength, fast regeneration and hardy nature.

The Biodegradable Bags that Factory Direct Promos has been successfully selling for years are available in a variety of sizes, styles and colors.  They are light and durable; with reinforced construction and strong seams.  The durable fabrics, design and construction offers a reusable and eco-friendly product.   

These bags, proudly displaying your design will serve your promotional needs, and will get your brand message out and about for a long time to come. 

Once the bags have lived out their lives, they will return to nature.  Once exposed to the combination of sunlight, oxygen and heat their materials will break down.  They will be converted into water, carbon dioxide, mineral salt and biomass.  They leave no toxins or hurtful residue behind.  Taken from nature, they eventually return to it.

All our Biodegradable Bags can be reused and recycled.  All contribute to the sustainability movement, the reduction of waste, pollution, soil and water contamination, sewer blockages, damaged ecosystems and habitats as well as damaged wildlife.  

All of Factory Direct Promos Biodegradable Bags will contribute to a more sustainable planet while they serve your customers and proudly act as a walking advertisement for your company.
