Eco-Conscious Takeaway Bags

Hilex Launches its Recyclable and Reusable Totes in New Sizes

— June 12, 2023 — Business
Hilex is debuting a new size range for its ProWave Tote, which is a recyclable and reusable tote bag.
The ProWave Tote provides customers with the choice between two distinct variations: one equipped with a 2.25-mil gauge film, crafted using a minimum of 40% post-consumer recycled material, and another featuring a 1.7-mil gauge film.

Hilex emphasizes that the 'ProWave Tote' is designed to optimize convenience during usage. It incorporates folded handles for an easy grip, and it has a robust double-ply top, ensuring that the bag remains open and readily accessible for hassle-free loading. The inclusion of a flat bottom design allows consumers to easily pack grocery and retail items with ease.

"Our ProWave tote has been highly sought-after by supermarkets, restaurants and other businesses, so we’re adding new options to make it even more versatile and customer-friendly,” says Frank Lawson, vice president of sales at Novolex," commented Frank Lawson, vice president of sales at Novolex.
