Fancy that six-pack


Fancy that six-pack

Is there anyone out there who still cuts up those plastic six-pack ring carriers used to hold cans or bottles in a multi-pack? It’s quite noble of you, but apparently not necessary.
The story used to be that if we let them go uncut into our garbage, and thus into the landfill, poor birds and other creatures would get their poor heads stuck in them and die a horrible, starving death. Six-pack rings today, however, are photodegradable, nontoxic and recyclable. That means they break down in sunlight. They are also approved by the EPA for packaging use.
Some people even applaud the use of the ring carriers as a way to minimize packaging, rather than using fiberboard and corrugated packaging.
Piqued your interest in plastic carriers? Log on to hi-cone.com to get more information. And lose yourself in the many styles and persuasions of six-pack ring carriers.
