Go Green, with Cradle-to-Cradle Design

Nanotechnology meets material science in the design of IntegraGuard™ Eco-Wise Bags. We use microbiology to incorporate sustainability and protection from the inside out:

• Made from trees—a 100% renewable resource
• Patented waterborne polymer-coated barrier
• Printed with water-based or soy inks
• Made with biodegradable, starch-based adhesives
• Some packages will feature an optional, water-based, VOC-free glossy coating that replaces polymer-based UV

Recycle, Reuse, Compost!

Earth-friendly IntegraGuard™ bags are fully recyclable where paper or corrugate recycling exists, plus they can be reused or composted.*

Recycle!

Recycle IntegraGuard™ bags in newspaper or corrugate box recovery streams.

Reuse!

• Collect trash for a neighborhood cleanup
• Gather and contain pet waste
• Cut open and let kids color and create on the uncoated side
• And many other ideas

Compost!

IntegraGuard™ bags fully decompose in less than 180 days when placed in an active compost bin or pile. U.S. standards and mass infrastructure do not exist yet for this natural process. However, composting is very popular in Europe, and North Americans are becoming increasingly interested and involved in starting community composts.

A Natural for Green and Organic Products!
