A prime example of our green technology is ALUF’s
COEX Supertuff CXP bags. COEX CXP
bags qualify for LEED-MR 4.1 and
4.2 credits. The
COEX Supertuff CXP line is produced from
80% recycled material, with 10% post-consumer. Using a proprietary tri-laminate
process, ALUF’s COEX line of bags are
approximately 25% thinner than competitor’s bags, yet provide superior strength
and durability.
ALUF’s line of COEX CXP
bags are Microban-treated, a feature that inhibits the growth
of odor-causing bacteria on both the inside and outside surfaces of bags.
ALUF’s virgin film products are also environmentally friendly, using
considerably less material, and reducing stress on the environment.
ALUF’s Environmental Best Practices mandate strict adherence to a higher
standard of environmental friendliness & sustainability. We
consistently maintain the 4-R principle: |

including wastewater and cardboard, is reused |
|

|
RECLAIM |
ALUF has implemented ambitious
effective collection programs for post consumer and post industrial
