One of the simplest ways to help the environment is to use products from companies that are environmentally conscience.

We have used EconoGreen bags for our gardening projects and their drop cloths during our recent home improvement projects. With both products we have been pleased with the quality and they done their jobs well:) And since they are priced the same as other brands... we'd be glad to purchase these products for future projects knowing that we can help the environment with our eco-friendly purchases without busting the budget!

EconoGreen drop cloths are made from 100% recycled plastic, are oxodegradable and recyclable which makes them ideal for tasks where a drop cloth is needed.  Unfortunately at $2.99 each the drop cloth is much more expensive then standard plastic ones from a hardware store.  The cloth is very sturdy.  During a painting job it did not break or tear at all.

Jig-A-Loo recently announced their new line of oxo-degradable plastic bags in coordination with Home Depot called EconoGreen.  After being contacted by a representative from EconoGreen, I was really interested to find out more about their products.

Jig-A-Loo recently announced their new line of bio-degradable plastic bags being sold through Home Depot called Econo-Green.

This new line of bio-degradable plastic bags offers a great combination for environmentally friendly & budget conscious consumers. These bags are high quality, tough bags that are able to degrade when exposed to oxygen. On top of that, their bags are made from 100% recyclable plastic.

I knew that once my stash of garbage bags from the price club ran out,  Live Green Mom would need to start exploring the world of eco-friendly garbage bags. I have not heard the most positive comments on the subject!  The biggest complaint: they fall apart easily. No one wants to clean up after an exploding garbage bag.

Not long ago, Amelia from Jig-A-Loo sent me an email asking if I could like to review their newest product, EconcoGreen Plastic trash bags for this blog. I was sent a nice selection of trash bags - large kitchen bags, tall kitchen bags, and lawn and leaf bags.

These days the general population is aware of the various avenues of being environmentally conscious, but the problem tends to lie in the hassle and work that’s required to implement these practices.  Many companies are now working to create Green products to assist consumers in reducing their environmental waste without the hassle.  Case in point, oxodegradable plastic trash bags.

Our friends over at Jig-A-Loo Canada Inc recently contacted Achieve Green and challenged us to test their EconoGreen brand of products. Well, we got the sample, tried it out, and have the following to say about it.

I was recently approached by EconoGreen to do a review of their garbage bags. I have to admit that I agreed to do the review with combined feelings of curiosity and trepidation

I'm always on the lookout for products and ways in general to be slightly more eco-chic today than I was yesterday.

Who ever thought plastic trash bags could be eco-friendly? I never did, until I heard of EconoGreen Plastics. EconoGreen Plastics offers a complete range of bags and drop cloths made from 100% recycled plastics that are oxodegradable and recyclable.

A new line of guilt-free plastic trash bags and drop cloths from EconoGreen Plastics are oxdegradable, affordable and, refreshingly, tough-as-nails.

Does such a thing even exist? Personally, I just use a trashcan without a liner and just rinse it out when it gets funky rather than add more trash to the landfill, but this doesn’t work for everybody.

For the longest time, we attempted to re-use plastic bags from stores as trash can liners — our version of recycling. Those bags didn’t fit in most of our garbage cans, and usually fell or broke, creating a mess.

Although I do not go out of my way to be environmentally friendly, it is reassuring to know I sometimes am, even if by default. More products have become available to assist us, and even ease the process...

We have to be able to trust our garbage bags. After all, their thin skins are all that stands between our floors and a gruesome concoction of trash, glass and ooze. We tested three contractor garbage bags: a 2-mil and two 3-mils...
