Environmentally Responsible Bagging

 

At Hilex, we believe in keeping our planet as pristine as possible. That's why we are committed to plastic bag recycling with our Bag-2-BagŪ program. We encourage all consumers to practice the 3 R's: Reduce-Recycle-Reuse.

Reduce the number of plastic bags used.
While we like to see our products being used, unnecessary or improper usage is not good for the environment. To use fewer bags, follow proper bagging techniques and be willing to accept some items without a bag. See the "How to Pack a Bag" section. Shoppers and baggers can work together to properly pack bags and reduce unnecessary usage.

Recycle plastic bags.
Our Bag-2-BagŪ recycling program makes plastic bag recycling easy. Simply bring your used bags back to participating stores and drop them into the plastic bag recycling bin. Or if you live in participating municipalities, you can recycle plastic bags with your other curbside recyclables.

Check with your local municipality, waste management authority, and merchants who use plastic bags to see if they are part of the Bag-2-BagŪ recycling program. If not, encourage them to take a look at our Bag-2-BagŪ program.

Reuse plastic bags to give them a second life.
While we don't certify our bags for alternative uses we do encourage youto reuse them as:

  • Household trash bags
  • Laundry bags
  • Travel and beach bags
  • Storage containers


Please do your part
by reducing, recycling and
reusing plastic bags.
