100% BIODEGRADABLE Plastic Garbage Bags produced from commodity PE resins and incorporating EPI's TDPA® (Totally Degradable Plastic Additives).

Emerald(TM) Brand is pleased to introduce a new green line to its Green Collection; The Oxo Biodegradable Garbage Bags.

"In today's "disposable" society, thousands of tons of garbage are disposed of in landfill sites daily. A vast amount of today's plastic waste ends its life-cycle in a modern sanity landfill where it stays for decades, leaving our children with an ever increasing mountain of plastic waste. Even worse, plastic disposed as litter represents an eyesore and may cause sanitation and health problems in the environment." states Ralph Bianculli, CEO of Paradigm Group. "Paradigm Group recognizes the need to deliver responsible disposables, and has invested in research and development in this product category." continues Mr. Bianculli.

The Emerald(TM) Brand Eco Bags are degradable plastic garbage bags, and when disposed of in landfill sites or when inadvertently littered, will degrade and ultimately biodegrade into carbon dioxide, water and biomass. These unique garbage bags help reduce the build up of dangerous methane gas in landfill sites and save valuable landfill space.

"Today's consumers want a responsible and sustainable approach to protect our environment when using low-cost, convenient, and disposable products. These bags are just as strong as ever. They are not affected by moisture and can be used again and again until the breakdown process" says Tony Galizia, Senior Vice President of Paradigm Group.
