Michigan Printing Executive Cleans Up With Green Bags

Keego Harbor, MI: Greenbagz.com announces its involvement in the green initiative by offering an alternative answer to the common question “paper or plastic?” Both paper and plastic grocery bags have damaging effects on the environment. Vladimir Gendelman, owner of Company Folders Inc., Drinkwarecompany.com, and Memory Magnets is launching Greenbagz.com, a site dedicated to the production of reusable bags for a green future.

Disposable grocery bags are largely consumed by the American population. It is estimated that each individual American goes through roughly 350 to 500 environmentally damaging bags in one year. Aside from the 1% of these bags that reach recycling centers, the rest end up in landfills or scattered around the earth. Plastic bags may take up to 1,000 years to break down, separating into smaller contaminating agents over time. Disposable paper bags aren’t much better as they require natural resources in order to produce. Reusable green bags offer an environmentally friendly alternative to paper and plastic.

Entrepreneur and green business enthusiast Vladimir Gendelman has gained notoriety in the custom printing field as well as the green initiative. His businesses Company Folders Inc. and Drinkwarecompany.com offer custom printing on environmentally friendly products to create a blend of advertising effectiveness and preservation. ”We take the green initiative very seriously. By using bags made of eco-friendly materials, we can all do our part in preserving the planet,” said Gendelman. Many top green companies at the forefront of global repair already offer green shopping bags as an eco-friendly solution alternative to harmful disposable bags.

Greenbagz.com, Gendleman’s latest green endeavor offers a variety of reusable grocery bags, shopping bags, tote bags, and other custom bags available with specifically tailored imprints. By using post-consumer recycled material s, the company converts recycled plastic bottles into their reusable bags. “Making reusable bags from recycled materials not only encourages consumers to recycle, but limits the natural resources used to craft our green bags. And of course they are fully customizable,” said Gendelman. The green bags are a great advertising tool for companies serious about preserving natural resources and unwilling sacrifice promotional appeal.

In an effort to reduce the staggering number of disposable bags unhealthily discarded into the environment, Gendelman has launched Greenbagz.com in order to encourage businesses to be part of the solution and provide promotional bags at an affordable price. “Businesses have to do a better job in keeping the earth clean, it all starts there,” said Gendelman. A gradual decrease in the consumption of disposable bags as part of an environmentally conscious effort for businesses to go green may literally save the world.
