A4R welcomes EZ Bagz

EZ Bagz

EZ Bagz save time and money

It may not seem like much, but the minutes EZ Bagz save each day by NOT having to put in a new trash bag every time one is removed do add up over time, therefore increasing efficiency and productivity. In addition, the EZ Bagz built-in flex band easily keeps the bags in place so you no longer have to buy “can bands” to keep bags from slipping down in the bin.

More importantly, however, are the overall health and safety benefits of using EZ Bagz instead of conventional bags.

By decreasing the repetitive motion of bending to install a new bag each time one is filled, EZ Bagz help to reduce the risk of back injuries associated with such activities.

According to OSHA, back injuries are cited as the most common reason for absenteeism in the general workforce after the common cold. About 80 percent of adults are estimated to experience a back injury in their lifetime, and about 10 percent will suffer a re-injury.

EZ Bagz are stronger and less likely to tear or leak.

Slip and fall injuries in the workplace are most often the result of spills, and several industries are particularly vulnerable. Restaurant kitchens, auto repair shops and factories can be very busy places where trash bags are regularly hauled out during working hours, often placed on the floor while a new bag is installed. If a bag is leaky, often the spill is not detected until someone slips. Then it’s too late.

Obviously no plastic bag is completely puncture or tear-proof, but EZ Bagz are less likely to puncture, tear or leak by virtue of their tensile strength, dart impact and tear strength - all of which exceed PE Film Properties industry testing standards.
