OUR ENVIRONMENT

Recycling

Here at Bulldog Bag we respect our environment

  • We recycled over 709,000 lbs of paper, 1,000,000 lbs of plastic and 5,000 gallons of waste fluids in the last year alone
  • We recycle the metal drums that inks, solvents and glues are packaged in
  • We recycle all food waste, paper and other common recyclables

Reduce

We constantly look for new opportunities to improve our environmental footprint

  • Installed motion activated LED lighting in the plant that goes off when there is no activity in an area and goes back on when there is activity, effectively reducing our use of electricity
  • 756 metric tons of CO2 are being saved every year which is equal to the electricity use of 104 homes and the greenhouse gases expelled by 159 cars
  • We unplug all machines not in operation where able

Reuse

All efforts are made to reuse as a way to reduce waste

  • We separate the alcohol from used ink and re-purpose it instead of sending it to be recycled
