EconoGreen Plastics(TM) Partners with The Home Depot to Stock in Stores Nationwide

STATESVILLE, N.C., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Jig-A-World USA, Inc., makers of innovative automotive and home improvement products, today announced its partnership with The Home Depot stores to stock its eco-friendly line of products – EconoGreen Plastics™. The EconoGreen Plastics™ family of products includes trash bags and drop cloths designed to help consumers reduce environmental waste. These heavy duty bags are made from 100 percent recycled materials and are 100 percent oxo-degradable, allowing them to break down within two years after use while costing considerably less than traditional green plastic bags. Made entirely from recycled plastic, the impact of these bags will literally replace millions of tons of wasteful plastic products with a recycled and oxo-degradable solution.

"With EconoGreen Plastics™ now available at The Home Depot stores nationwide, environmentally conscious consumers across the U.S. have easier access to our complete line of plastic bags," said Cindy Sutton, vice president, Jig-A-World USA, Inc. "Now consumers have an affordable option for green bags that they can use throughout their home without paying a premium or sacrificing quality."

EconoGreen products come in all shapes and sizes, from trash and contractor bags to drop cloths. Engineered to be fully oxo-degradable and breakdown completely within two years, EconoGreen Plastics™ are extremely durable and long lasting. Oxo-degradation involves the addition of an additive into the EconoGreen Plastics™ formula that helps accelerate the decomposition of the plastic over time. This allows naturally occurring elements to break down the plastic into simple organic compounds. In the end, the process leaves behind no residue or harmful toxins that can damage the environment. With manufacturer's suggested retail prices starting at only $3.99, Tall Kitchen Bags and Contractor Clean-up Bags can now be found at The Home Depot stores nationwide. The entire family of Jig-A-Loo products can be purchased online at www.jigaloo.com.
