can be recycled into many useful, durable products such as refuse
containers, building materials, and office accessories.

Non
Toxic and Clean Burning |
| |
When
burned properly, polyethylene (made from carbon and hydrogen),
turns to carbon dioxide and water. There are no toxic fumes given
off and the residual ash (only .25 % remains) is not toxic. Additionally,
polyethylene has a higher BTU content (17,800 BTU's/lb.) than
coal and paper, producing more energy when burned.

Safe
In Landfills |
| |
Studies
show that even readily degradable items are not degrading in
landfills. On the positive side, polyethylene products are a
stable ingredient in landfills. They are not toxic and do not
give off leachate or methane gas.

Good
For Solid Waste Management |
| |
Although
polyethylene food service packaging accounts for less than 25%
of the municipal solid waste, Flexwrap is committed to doing
our part in effectively aging solid waste. Flexwrap believes
in a balanced approach utilizing source reduction, recycling,
safe incineration, and safe landfilling, with safe incineration
being number one. Energy is the by product of incineration and
landfills are becoming hard to find. New Jersey is now trucking
our waste out of state at tremendous cost to the taxpayer. Incineration
is the answer. Please write your congressman or congresswoman
and push for incineration of our waste. |
