Recycling
A recent survey in America in to the production of the plastic bag has revealed some interesting facts about the battle of plastic vs. paper. Plastic is lighter, uses less fuel in production, is easy to store and dispense, and is stronger that most paper bags. However, the down side of the plastic bag is that it lasts for many hundreds of years, against the paper bag that is lucky to see its first birthday. So what should we think and do? Well the easy thing to do is re-use your plastic bag repeatedly until it is well and truly worn out, then recycle it if facilities allow. The local council here have a problem with plastic bags going for recycling. It would seem that in a last ditch effort not to be recycled the bags get together and clog up the £3M recycling machine. Go bags go!

I came up with a helpful solution to some plastic....I am happy to tell you all that my company has recently developed biodegradable, eco-friendly, bamboo fiber toilet paper that is not only really soft, breaks down easily, but it is derived from a renewable and sustainable resource. A scientific university study recently solved the mystery as to why the chemical compound BPA is showing up in our ground water…it is because of recycled content toilet paper! When they recycle the material that goes into make the TP, they use all kinds of paper, including glossy paper like credit card receipts (source of BPA or Bisphenol-A – a plastic!). Our bamboo bathroom tissue, the world’s first – does not necessitate recycling because of how fast bamboo grows. In addition to all that, we plant a tree for every package of 4 rolls sold, and our bathroom tissue will come in a 100% recycled cardboard box instead of plastic packaging.We also lighten it without elemental chlorine! Please contact me with any questions. Visit www.bumboosa.com to see our current bamboo products and find out when our new bathroom tissue arrive – sometime this spring 2010! We also on FACEBOOK. Have a great New Year!!!
