West Palm firm reaches design finals

by Janis Fontaine • Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

The seventh annual Housewares Design Awards' finalists have been announced, and a local company is one of 65 finalists!

EZ Bagz, LLC, a West Palm Beach-based company, has introduced a new trash bag system. EZ Bagz has a bag-in-bag system that nests 12 bags one inside another and that fits most all standard trash containers. Take a full bag out, and voila! Another one is already in place. Now you only have to replace the bags once every 12 times!

The eco-friendly bags are 100 percent oxo-biodegradable within 12 to 24 months, leaving no harmful residue. But the bags are moisture-proof and are actually stronger and more puncture-resistant than most conventional plastic bags.

The finalists were chosen by an independent panel of judges that evaluated hundreds of new housewares products. Criteria included unique appearance, functionality, positioning, innovative technology or materials, safety, environmental benefits, emotional appeal, social impact and the ability to meet consumer needs.
Winners will be announced Feb. 3 at the Housewares Design Awards presentation ceremony and luncheon in New York City.

EZ Bagz are available on Amazon.com, for $9.96 for 24 bags plus shipping. For more information about the awards, go to www.housewaresdesignawards.com

Press Release: 3/20/09
EZ Bagz Announces New Eco-Friendly Trash Bags

EZ Bagz™ is a revolutionary new, patented trash bag-in-bag system that's easy for you and easy on the planet.

Consumers today have become increasingly concerned with finding responsible and sustainable ways to protect our environment, while still enjoying the convenience of low-cost disposable products. So far, there are not many viable alternatives to common plastics that are satisfying or affordable. Bags made from corn starch are one eco-friendly choice, but the fact remains that they are flimsy and expensive.

EZ Bagz is the answer with its specially formulated patented degradant catalyst, which allows for the degradation process of the bag, which is then totally assimilated back into nature within 12 to24 months.

EZ Bagz are made from a 100 percent degradable, non toxic polymer that is actually stronger and more puncture resistant than most conventional plastic bags available on the market today.

They are eco-friendly, are 100 percent oxo-biodegradable and safely degrade within 12 to 24 months in a landfill or controlled composting environment.

EZ Bagz are always there! Instead of having to replace a trash bag each time one is removed, and offer a convenient solution by nesting 12 bags into one thoughtfully engineered unit. Secured with a built-in flex cord, the 12-bag unit stays put in your trash container while you remove each top bag, leaving a fresh bag ready to use immediately.

EZ Bagz save time and money in the workplace. It may not seem like much, but the minutes saved each day by not having to put in a new trash bag every time one is removed do add up over time, therefore increasing overall efficiency and productivity.

EZ Bagz come in four EZ sizes: 13-gallon tall kitchen bag, 30-gallon large trash bag, 45-gallon industrial bag and a 55-gallon industrial bag.
