PAYT UPDATE: SAME BAGS - NEW PACKAGING

Starting Spring 2025 Pay As You Throw bags will be packaged in a paper wrap - no more cellophane bags. This new packaging is better for the environment and quality. Some wraps may stick to the bags more than others. Below are tips for removing the wrap without damaging the bags.

1. Tear the paper only

Tear the paper in half from where the last bag ends. Do not try to remove the wrap from the roll, simply rip the

paper wrap open.

2. Unroll Once the paper is torn open, just unroll the bag as normal, leaving the sticker attached.

3. Use the bag as normal

Use the bag in your can as normal with the wrap stuck to the first bag - it won’t interfere with the stretch or

drawstrings.
