Following their successful introduction to the US market, Glad ForceFlex garbage bags are now available to Australian food-service professionals.
"Glad ForceFlex bags were launched here in January and already they've proven very popular across the foodservice sector, which shows us that there is a genuine market demand for this innovative product," says Clorox Australia National Customer and Category Development Manager Ewen Litchfield.
Lauded by the US press as the "ultimate" in garbage bags, Glad ForceFlex bags feature a breakthrough "SELFing" patented technology which enables them to stretch around even awkwardly shaped and hard-to-manage garbage without puncturing or ripping.
The secret of their design lies in the bag's unique diamond texture, which is deep-embossed to increase elasticity. This diverts pressure from points of impact, allowing the bag to absorb force and stretch instead of breaking.
"Glad ForceFlex Bags are stronger, tear-resistant and can therefore hold more garbage," Ewen explains. "Their tough design makes them the ideal choice for the commercial kitchen."
Each bag is equipped with a drawstring to make it easy to open and close, and thanks to their durable structure, even the fullest bag is easy to lift and carry. The 75L bags come in a convenient dispenser pack of 25 bags.
In comparison tests involving overstuffing, dragging and dropping, as well as a general weight test, all conducted by the US' Real Simple magazine, the Glad ForceFlex bag was names the best performer. The magazine said it was "surprisingly hard for its size and weight".
Glad ForceFlex Bags have even been praised in the New York Times, which described them as "the Mercedes of trash bags".
"Glad ForceFlex is designed to deliver on strength – the number one requirement in the demanding foodservice environment," Ewen Litchfield points out.
"They were developed following extensive research into what is being put into garbage bags, how they are handled and how much weight they are typically expected to hold. You can overload them and still they keep stretching!"
Glad ForceFlex Bags are the latest addition to the extensive Glad product range from Clorox Commercial, which also includes such mainstays of the commercial kitchen as Glad Wrap, Glad Go-Between and Glad Bake.
