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.
