Let's keep the Nature clean!

What Are The Problems?
 
People are part of the Nature and of major importance for us is to keep it clean. Our society becomes more and more consumer and this causes a serious problem - the volume of generated waste permanently increases. Large part of it comes from the packaging, not from the products themselves.
 
What Does Extrapack Do About?
 
  • We use materials, inks and masterbaches, which do not contain substances that could be harmful for people's, animals' and plants' health;
  • Through our position on the market we impose usage of strong, multi-usable polyethylene bags;
  • We work with one-hundred-percent-recyclable materials and have built powerful machines that accomplish this recycling;
  • Through the media resources we dispose with, we appeal our clients to join us in the efforts for keeping the Earth clean;
  • This spring we started a test bags production of a special polymer material, which self-decompose in the nature in 4-6 months.
Paper Or Polyethylene?
One of the common ideas is that paper bags should take the place of polyethylene ones. Look what the facts are:
  • Paper bag's weight is about 5 times heavier than the polyethylene ones and therefore the first ones generate a bigger waste volume. This is important because in our days because places for waste sweeping and conservation become hard to come by.
  • For the production of polyethylene packaging are needed 50% less energy resources comparing to the paper ones. That means less indirect pollution of the nature from the power station.
  • Easy tearing and low steadiness of humidity do not permit using of paper bags in all spheres of application.
  • The increased consumption of paper has always been associated with chopping of tropical forests - the lungs of the planet.
  • The polyethylene bags do not excrete injurious substances and do not pollute the nature chemically. Water soluble emissions from the solving of paper bags are 94 % bigger than the same of polyethylene ones.
  • The polyethylene bags allow multi usage, on the contrary of the paper ones. Even the thinest polyethylene bags could be used for garbage collecting in the office or at home.

There is an equal quantity of polyethylene and paper bags in each of the two piles. Question is which one is which.
