EncoreTM Overview: Environmental Features
- Recyclable: Encore bags are 100% recyclable - return the bags to Command Packaging Recycling Center for complete reuse to close the loop on waste.
- Post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastic: Bags contain a combination of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled material to achieve the highest concentration of recycled film without compromising the structure and strength of the bags. Read more..
- Non-toxic: only water-based inks and non-toxic ingredients are used in the printing and make of the bags unlike many imports that have the risk of unsafe chemical contamination, heavy metals (i.e. lead) and toxic colorants.
- High performance: bags are strong and can match or exceed the holding power of most bags.
- Cost-effective: EncoreTM offers environmental solutions without incurring high costs or complex logistical issues.

EncoreTM products also feature biodegradable additives:
- A unique biodegradable additive can be used to allow the bags to start biodegrading in 9 months once activated by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus. The resulting particles will decompose into simple materials as found in nature, such as water, carbon dioxide and humus like elements found in the soil.
- The new additive does not require oxygen and ambient moisture, or composting to begin biodegrading. The bags will naturally biodegrade where other organic materials are biodegrading (anaerobically and aerobically).
Biodegradable additives can be blended into any of the manufacturer’s products and in any gauge.
- Bags with biodegradable additives are recyclable.
- Shelf life and reliability will not be affected: EncoreTM bags with the biodegradable additive will maintain the benefits of strength, leak resistance, grease resistance, and less storage requirements until they are placed in an environment that cause the material to breakdown, i.e. soil and bacteria.
