Sustainability Through Innovation: EB1® Bag

In recent years there has been a move to package such bulk products as pet foods in heavy gauge laminated plastic bags. Such bags are strong, boast outstanding graphics, and do a great job of preserving product quality.

There’s just one problem with the laminated heavy gauge plastic sack. It can’t be recycled.

Hood Packaging Corporation engineers took a look at that, and decided that green innovation could take a good product and make it better. Via the use of advanced plastics technology and EB coating systems, Hood Packaging Corporation’s EB1® bag has all the advantages of the heavy gauge laminated sack – great strength, outstanding graphics, and superior product production – and added to the mix the one advantage that the laminated bag lacks. EB1®, unlike the laminated bag, is 100% recyclable.

Since it was introduced at Pack Expo in 2009, Hood’s EB1® has won several awards recognizing it as a significant innovation in sustainable packaging.
