    Finally the end to the “paper or plastic” debate: Degradable Bags
    Each year millions of discarded plastic shopping bags end up as litter in the environment
    • Regular plastic bags can take up to 400 years to degrade, can be dangerous to wildlife if ingested, and may leech toxic chemicals into soil, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
    • Paper bags are no better: It takes approximately four times as much energy to manufacture a paper bag than it does to manufacture a plastic bag, generates more air pollution, and creates 50 times more water pollution than plastic bags.
    • Reusable bags are an inconvenience, and raise concerns about sanitary food handling.
    • GXT Green ECOgrade Bags are a better bag solution. ECOgrade degradable bags are composed of about 50% organic and naturally occurring materials and degrade in approximately 240 days. …And customers love using them!
