TruGreen envelopes are 100% Recyclable
Tru-green envelopes are 100% recyclable. That means the sticky part used to seal the envelope is
recyclable as well as the rest of the envelope. So, unlike most envelopes you can simply chuck the whole
thing in the recycling rather than fiddle around removing the non-recyclable parts.
Advantage: Save time by not having to remove parts of the envelope before recycling.
TruGreen envelopes are 100% Biodegradable
Tru-green envelopes are manufactured from organic compounds sourced from crops, so they are basically
composed of vegetable matter. That means that you can actually use them for gardening! And because of their
durability you can re-use them several times before composting them making them good value for money.
Tip: Perhaps you could fill your used tru-green envelopes with other compostable materials you
collect through-out the day and use the envelope to transport the waste matter to the compost heap. If you work in
a school you could pass an envelope around the class after having a healthy fruit snack break, using the
envelope to collect the banana skins, apple cores and orange peels and teach your kids about composting.
TruGreen envelopes are 100% Compostable
Because all of the components of Tru-green envelopes are biodegradable – including the sticky part –
they are truly 100% biodegradable. That means that if for some reason the used envelopes cannot be recycled
and are instead thrown away, they will completely degrade.
Advantage: Still eco-friendly even if you do have to throw them away.
