Sustainability
More than 99% of trash can liners go to landfills. This means, in the trash liner industry, the best way to be green is to reduce the overall plastic sent to the landfill, also referred to as source reduction.
Gateway R-Fit liners are the lightest, strongest, and greenest solution to significantly reduce the plastic waste that impacts our environment. Because these liners are thinner than competitive liners, switching to Gateway can significantly reduce plastic waste.
