  2. Important Facts • 500 billion to 1 trillion single-use plastic bags are used every year • Plastic resin production has increased from 14 billion to 120 billion pounds over the past 3 generations • Only 3% - 5% of plastics are recycled* • *Best of Life Magazine Feb 2009

  3. Benefits • When disposed of in a landfill or inadvertently littered, Earthwise bags will: • Biodegrade into carbon dioxide, water and biomass • Save valuable landfill space and extend landfill life • Keep you ahead of environmental legislation • Reduce the buildup of dangerous methane gas in landfill sites

  4. 100% Degradable Plastic • When Earthwise bags are exposed to sunlight or heat, a two-step degradation process is triggered that allows the plastic to breakdown through oxidation into smaller fragments. • Over time, these fragments further convert to natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals. • Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae will consume the smaller plastic fragments.

  5. Completely Secure • Meets all Federal Reserve guidelines • Easy-seal closure – simply press and it’s closed • Strong, tough material… practically indestructible • Heat-welded seams exceed the burst strength of the film • VOID-evident closure tape head welded to the bag for maximum security

  6. Completely Secure • VOID-evident closure includes features to protect against cold and heat tampering • VOID-evident closure incorporates unique 2-color void message for instant tamper recognition • Black saliva detection print in VOID message will disappear when exposed to moisture or saliva • Sequential tracking numbers with large quick-read bar-codes for fast track/trace scanning

  7. Why Choose Earthwise? • Corporate Environmental initiatives or directives • Position your company as an environmentally responsible leader (“we care”) • It’s the right thing to do
