OSHKOSH, Wisconsin – Bemis Company, Inc. introduces a new bio-based polymer film for the Lawn & Garden market as part of an initiative to create alternate packaging material from renewable resources. The new Lawn & Garden package contains up to 90% plant sourced raw materials comprising 100% sugar cane derived polyethylene.
The new Lawn & Garden bag offerings are designed to have the same toughness and strength properties as traditional structures and provide for additional package formats. Additionally, the bags carry the #4 recycle code and may be recycled at store drop off locations. Other end use applications include industrial, building materials and agricultural chemical.
