YourBags.com is an environmentally responsible business. YourBags.com takes the extra step wherever and whenever possible to consume fewer raw materials and reduce outputs into the air, water and solid waste streams when creating your custom-designed paper bags. What differentiates our best practices from our competition? So glad you asked! - YourBags.com uses only environmentally friendly, water-based inks. This is why we offer so few truly “metallic” inks and discourage their use.
- Unused inks are re-blended into darker “work off” colors, or reprocessed with modern technology to separate and recover water from pigment. This reduces water use and solid waste.
- Every pound of waste paper (including bag paper, boxes, handle material, bundle wrap and shredded office waste paper) is collected and sold into the recovered fiber market.
- Our 100% Recycled Natural Kraft paper bags are made from a minimum of 95% post-consumer content.
- The cases and bundles YourBags products are stored and stacked in are designed to support the most efficient utilization of truck capacity possible. The result is substantially less fuel needed to deliver YourBags.com products from our plant to you.
YourBags.com is an FSC Supplier, which guarantees that the wood our paper bags are made of comes from a certified well-managed forest. FSC bag-grades are available on a special order basis. Please direct FSC product inquiries to your Yourbags.com Customer Service Representative. |
