About reusable Tomorrow bags About paper bags
Made from natural gas that would otherwise go wasted into the atmosphere. Over 14 million trees are cut down each year to make 10 billion paper bags used by shoppers.
Engineered to be reused 125 times, use far less energy to manufacture, ship, and recycle. Engineered for a single use, uses significantly more energy to manufacture, ship, and recycle.
80 times more pollution!
Can be recycled at supermarkets, retailers nationwide and converted back into bags or similar products. Rarely reused or recycled. Paper bags contribute to the enormous glut of unsellable recycled paper.
Most EPA landfills have MRFs (Materials Recovery Facility) that recycle plastic, preventing release of GhG. Over 95% of paper bags are disposed in landfills and release GhG (12 times more GhG than Tomorrow Bags).
Contain or use no toxic substances that contribute to acid rain or water pollution. U.S. paper mills are the largest consumers of clean water and are notorious water and air polluters.
