Sustainable Bags Made with Certified
Post-Consumer Recycled Material Result in Lower Environmental
Impacts
LITTLE
ROCK, Ark., April 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Revolution, the company
dedicated to creating and championing sustainable loop solutions
that preserve the environment and empower everyone to contribute to
a more sustainable future, today announced the launch of Dailygood
Bags, the most eco-friendly heavy duty trash bags made for everyday
household use. Dailygood trash bags are a more sustainable solution
for homes because they are made with as much as 97% post-consumer
recycled plastic resin (PCR), resulting in lower environmental
impacts compared to trash bags made without recycled content.
The average American family creates 18 pounds of trash daily,
and 100 billion bags made from virgin plastic are tossed out and
headed for landfills every single day. To create Dailygood
Bags, Revolution collects and recycles post-consumer plastic from
sources including U.S. farms to create the most durable,
eco-friendly, commercial-strength trash bags for the
home.
Replacing existing trash bags for eco-friendly Dailygood Bags,
eliminates all virgin plastic from the equation, providing
consumers with an easy way to help the environment, one bag at a
time. The extra strong/maximum performance bags are made via
Revolution's proprietary Sustainable Loop™ business model that
helps to keep local communities and businesses free of plastic
waste that would otherwise be buried or sent to
landfills.
Dailygood Bags, which come in two bag sizes (13 gallon tall
kitchen drawstring and 30 gallon large drawstring) are available in
a variety of pack sizes at http://dailygoodbags.com (starting
today) and Amazon.com (coming soon) for $10-20 per pack. Subscription options and bundled
sets are now available to have the trash bags delivered to the
customer's doorstep right when they need them, so users never have
to worry about buying bags again. To sign up for Dailygood's
subscription service, please visit
http://dailygoodbags.com/subscriptions.
Dailygood Bags are stronger than the industry average consumer
bag because they were originally designed for commercial use, which
makes them heavier duty and more durable to ensure the bag will
hold up to everyday wear and tear without ripping. The bags are
tested to hold up to 90 lbs. The convenient drawstring closure
allows for easier removal and disposal and ensures a better fit on
standard household trash can sizes.
"PCR trash bags from Revolution have been used by global
businesses including stadiums, airports, universities, restaurants
and hospitals for over a decade to help keep their facilities clean
while also achieving their ESG/sustainability goals, and now we are
making the same commercial quality bags available for the home with
Dailygood Bags," said Sean Whiteley,
CEO of Revolution. "We are proud to offer the most
eco-friendly trash bags on the market and that consumers now have
easy access to the most sustainable trash bag options
available."
The products, made in America at local Revolution facilities,
have received third-party certification by SCS Global Services,
verifying the quality and consistency of its recycled
materials. Revolution also had SCS conduct an independent Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) to measure the specific environmental impact
of the bags. Results included:
- Production and use of Revolution's Dailygood trash bags made
with at least 70% post-consumer recycled content result in lower
environmental impacts across the board when compared to trash bags
made without recycled content, including:
-
- 53% less depletion of non-renewable energy resources/fossil
fuels such as crude oil
- Global climate change emissions lowered by 37%.
- Decreased human exposure to ground level ozone and fine
particulate matter such as smog (31% reduction) and soot (50%
reduction).
- Reduces impacts to regional acidification (12% reduction),
ocean warming (31% reduction) and ocean acidification (51%
reduction).
Revolution has multiple recycling facilities where the plastic
is transported, sorted, processed, recycled and turned into its
certified PCR resin, which is then used to manufacture new plastic
film products including Dailygood Bags. The vertically integrated
process allows the company to ensure the quality of its PCR and its
trash bags since it knows where the plastic comes from and can
manage the entire plastics life cycle, responsibly and efficiently.
The company's fleet of collection vehicles and proprietary Push
for Pick Up™ mobile app allows it to locate used plastic
film, much of it its own products, to ensure Revolution can
efficiently collect the material once it's been used.
