Gray is the New Green Resources

- Why doesn't your bag say... "Contains at least 25% recycled content"



Did you know that most plastic shopping bags made from virgin (or first use) plastic are typically white in color? In contrast, plastic shopping bags made partially or totally from recycled resin recovered from used bags are gray, buff or blue. Actually higher recycled content is symbolized by darker colors. These darker colored bags are more environmentally friendly or “green” because they can be made from recycled plastic bags, a good use for old bags that keeps them out of landfills and helps reduce litter.
Hilex Poly makes it easy to "go green"... or as we say..."go gray". All of our bags are recyclable. Our environmentally friendly plastic bags have a printed message on the bag that lets consumers know it’s a green solution.
