If you need to purchase trash-liner bags, look for a brand with 100 percent post-consumer recycled content. Producing trash bags from recycled plastic requires less energy than manufacturing those same bags from virgin plastic. If just one in 10 U.S. households began purchasing trash bags made from 100 percent recycled materials, the annual energy savings could meet the heating needs of 4,000 households in Fargo, ND for the entire year.
