When you think about “going green,” recycling often comes to mind. When you think about recycling, newspapers often come to mind. Not only are newspapers totally recyclable, they’re reusable.
We use newspapers for endless tasks after we read them, from puppy training to kindling for the campfire.
Lead-Free, Washable Reusable Newspaper Bag
But what about the pesky plastic bag that accompanies newspapers so often these days? The bags are used to protect newspapers from the elements or to hang them from doorknobs in hotels or motels. They accomplish that job but, after that, they aren’t exactly “green.” When was the last time you burned a plastic newspaper bag to help start a fire?
What if there was a solution – a bag that kept newspapers clean but was 100 per cent safe and reusable? That’s where ICEGREEN reusable newspaper bags come to the rescue.
Instead of non-recyclable plastic bags, ICEGREEN offers an alternative – a non-woven polypropylene reusable bag to hang on doorknobs. At hotels, motels and even on cruise ships, the bag can house newspapers, magazines and more for guests throughout their trips. Afterwards, they can take the bags with them and use them for shopping, storage, or whatever they want.
Looking to make your business’ image greener? ICEGREEN can help by placing your brand on the reusable newspaper bags. That way, when guests take the bags with them, they take you with them too. It’s free advertising; you can customize the bags with your logo, slogan and anything else associated with your brand.
ICEGREEN reusable newspaper bags are made from various materials that have a minimum of 30 per cent recyclable components at end of life. The bags are also machine-washable in cold water and lead and contaminant free.
These bags already provide a home for newspapers at Halifax’s Lord Nelson Hotel. Looking for an innovative perk for your customer’s that also casts your business in a greener light? Go green with ICEGREEN reusable newspaper bags.
