Important Facts 500 billion to 1 trillion single-use plastic bags are used every year Plastic resin production has increased from 14 billion to 120 billion pounds over the past 3 generations Only 3% - 5% of plastics are recycled* *Best of Life Magazine Feb 2009

Benefits When disposed of in a landfill or inadvertently littered, Earthwise bags will: Biodegrade into carbon dioxide, water and biomass Save valuable landfill space and extend landfill life Keep you ahead of environmental legislation Reduce the buildup of dangerous methane gas in landfill sites

100% Degradable Plastic When Earthwise bags are exposed to sunlight or heat, a two- step degradation process is triggered that allows the plastic to breakdown through oxidation into smaller fragments. Over time, these fragments further convert to natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae will consume the smaller plastic fragments.
