Canadian Firm Launches GREEN-NET to stop Blue-Box Litter Problem
TORONTO, CANADA, Aug 1, 2008
GREEN-NET is the Ultimate Litter Defense to stop recycle-box litter at the source....the open-topped blue-box.  Private Canadian Firm, Finalli, has introduced a simple yet highly durable netting solution that is easily retro-fit to cover any standard open-topped blue box recycling bin. “It can be most easily described as a giant green hair-net for recycle bins”, says Finalli President, Andrea Stewart.  The netting is made from 100% knitted polyester, with a super-strong 1000 dernier thread thickness at 8.5oz per square yard, and is machine washable.  GREEN-NET is bright green in colour so it is easily visible at curbside even on snowy recycling collection days.  It is also double UV protected so it won't degrade from the sun on the hottest summer days.   GREEN-NET is made with a durable, highly-elasticized 1/4" polypropylene shock cord which will not lose it's strength and elasticity when it freezes and thaws, working dependably to keep litter contained and critters out, from season to season through the harshest Canadian climates.  GREEN-NET comes with a built-in marine-grade stainless steel hard fastening dome located right below the prominent GREEN-NET logo which snaps on to a 3/8" stainless steel self-tapping screw stud that is easily screwed into the side of any blue-box recycle bin using a simple household screw driver.  Lastly, GREEN-NET is made in Canada by a 100% Canadian company, using materials and components made in Canada.  GREEN-NET is an affordable one-time investment that will help put an end to recycle-box litter in our communities across Canada. GREEN-NET is available online at http://www.green-net.ca, and may soon be offered as a part of selected municipal government recycling collection programs in communities throughout North America.
