Trash Talk: How Gateway Liners Are Transforming Waste Management

Share this article:

Managing waste effectively is a constant challenge for custodial teams in schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities. Whether it is ensuring liners do not tear, staying within budgets, or meeting sustainability goals, every facility faces its unique struggles. Gateway Liners provides innovative solutions to these common challenges, combining strength, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendly practices into one package.

Challenge #1: The Need for Stronger Liners

Imagine handling sharp or heavy waste only to watch your trash liner give way at the worst moment. Liners that fail under pressure not only create unnecessary messes but also waste valuable time and resources for custodial teams.

Why Gateway Excels

Gateway Liners are engineered to be the strongest yet lightest in the industry. Thanks to advanced material science and our proprietary R-Spec formulation, Gateway Liners outperform thicker liners while using less plastic. This ensures custodial teams can tackle even the toughest waste streams with confidence, all while reducing plastic usage. Need proof?

Challenge #2: Balancing Cost with Performance

Cost efficiency in waste management is about balancing performance and expense. While low-cost liners may appear economical, frequent failures—such as rips or leaks—drive up labor, replacement, and clean-up costs.

Less Plastic, More Savings With precise sizing through the R-Fit program, Gateway eliminates overhang waste and reduces material usage, resulting in:

20-40% less plastic waste in landfills

Long-term savings on labor and replacements

Facilities switching to Gateway save money while achieving unmatched liner reliability, proving that strength doesn’t have to come at the expense of efficiency.

Challenge #3: Sustainability

Sustainability is a growing concern for facilities aiming to minimize their environmental impact. Traditional liners contribute heavily to plastic waste, with 99% ending up in landfills where decomposition can take up to five hundred years.

Source Reduction

Gateway Liners reduce landfill waste by an average of 39% per facility. By focusing on the EPA’s preferred method of source reduction, Gateway achieves sustainability without compromising performance. Through manufacturing higher quality resins, gateway reduces landfill waste with less plastic, resulting in less waste.

This commitment helps facilities meet their green initiatives while maintaining the durability and reliability needed for daily operations.

Why Gateway Liners Make a Difference

At the intersection of strength, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, Gateway Liners provides custodial teams with a smarter way to manage waste. Whether you are looking to improve operational efficiency, cut costs, or go green, Gateway Liners deliver on all fronts.
