The Household Cleaning, Paper, and Food Storage Program took place April 19-21, where we hosted live, one-on-one virtual meetings. Buyers reviewed products based on trending themes such as sustainable and natural solutions, and we saw innovation in Household Cleaning & Chemicals, Disinfecting Wipes, Laundry Detergents, Air Care, Household Cleaning Supplies, Disposable & Reusable Food Storage, and Paper Products. During the session, participating buyers were able to visit the Buyers Choice Awards section of the ECRM Connect platform and cast a digital vote on their favorite product based on innovation and product packaging. We are pleased to announce the winners:

Second Place: BioBag Americas, Inc – GreenPolly Recycling Bag

GreenPolly is a new & emerging brand that aims to solve a glaring need in how we treat, think, and dispose of plastic waste. Each year, tons of plastic ends up in landfills while only about 10% of that gets recycled, according to EPA estimates. GreenPolly combines a blend of discarded plastics and green polyethylene (green plastic) from sugarcane to create a second life for our lineup of trash bags, recycling bags, and dog poop bags. GreenPolly is one of the first bags on the market to be made up of 80-90% post-consumer (non-industrial) plastic and a renewable resource (10-20% renewable green plastic from sugarcane). GreenPolly is a better way to think about recycling for generations to come. 

GreenPolly recycling bags are made from 80% post-consumer recycled plastic and 20% green plastic from renewable sugarcane. These recycling bags are designed and tested for durability when collecting recyclable items. The secure drawstring ensures contents inside are secured in place on the way to the recycling bin. The clear, unscented bags allow for easy viewing of the contents

inside and are best used in a municipal setting where recycling bags are generally accepted. GreenPolly is not some big-brand virgin plastic company that changed their tune… sustainable products have been their business model from the beginning. They are SCS Recycled Content certified and BPA-free! Find GreenPolly in your local grocer or online where sustainable recycling bags are just a click away.

Congratulations to our Buyer’s Choice Award Winners!
