Dedicated to Reduce Our Environmental Impact
December 8, 2021
Fredman Bag’s roots are based in recycling. Our business model at our inception in 1889 was recycling used burlap bags for reuse. This environmentally conscious philosophy (and the recycling program that comes with it) remains a large part of our operations and culture. And we are happy to report Fredman Bag has been completely land-fill free for well over 2,000 days – close to 5 ½ years.
