Plastic bags are 100% recyclable and are re used by nine out of ten Americans. They are made primarily from clean natural gas,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/cheap-polo-shirts/]Cheap Polo Shirts[/url], and plastic bag manufacturing and recycling supports more than 30,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/polo-outlet/]Polo Outlet[/url],000 manufacturing jobs across the nation with 3,000 workers in Illinois alone.
Nationally, plastic bag,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/discount-hermes-bags/]Discount Hermes Bags[/url], sack and wrap recycling has risen 24% over the past year and this legislation will bring more jobs in plastic bag recycling to the state,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/ralph-lauren-polo/]Ralph Lauren Polo[/url], bringing manufacturing jobs back home.
The added benefit of this bill is that it comes at no cost to consumers, small businesses or supermarkets. In reality,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-handbags/]Hermes Handbags[/url], businesses will make money by selling used plastic bags, sacks and wraps to recyclers so that they can be turned into new items that we use every day like backyard decking, plumbing pipes, playground equipment, new plastic bags and a whole host of other products. All consumers have to do is bring their bags back to their local stores and place them in the recycling bins.
Furthermore, manufacturing bags with higher levels of recycled content not only draws on fewer natural resources, it is also more cost effective. This means bags with recycled content will not cost store owners and retail outlets more than bags with lower levels of recycled content.
The American Progressive Bag Alliance is proud to join Illinois in this recycling effort, and we hope this legislation becomes a model bill for legislatures across the nation. We look forward, with your support, to bringing even more recycling jobs to the State of Illinois, and urge you to pass the Plastic Bag Film Recycling Act.
