30% Recycled Content Polythene Bags
Recent legislation means from April 2022 polythene products which contain less than 30% recycled content will have an additional Plastics Tax applied to them.
Whereas products which contain at least 30% recycled content will be exempt. Our new range of polythene bags meet these criteria.
We offer three different thicknesses of clear polythene bags for you to pick from, a 100 gauge, 200 gauge and a 400 gauge.
The clear poly bags can still be heat sealed in the same way, allowing you to continue to protect your products inside them.
The relevant legislation this product complies with are as follows.
- EU 2007/19EC,
- EU2010/11
- US FDA 21 CFR Part 177.1520
