Mulch Bags with UVI

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can plastic mulch bags be recycled?

It depends on the availability of recycling facilities in your area. While LDPE plastic bags are technically recyclable, many municipal recycling programs do not accept them. Check with your local recycling center to see if they can accept plastic bags, and if they don't, look for a drop-off location near you.


How does a UVI additive increase LDPE life in the elements?

The UVI (ultraviolet inhibitor) additive helps to protect the LDPE (low-density polyethylene) material from the damaging effects of the the sun. UV radiation breaks down the chemical bonds in plastic, causing it to become brittle and crack. The UVI additive acts as a shield, absorbing the UV radiation and protecting the LDPE material from degradation.

The amount of mulch you need for a yard depends on several factors, including the size of your yard, the depth of mulch you want to apply, and the size of the bags. As a general rule of thumb, one cubic yard of mulch will cover about 100 square feet at a depth of 3 inches. If you're using bags of mulch, check the volume of each bag and do some simple math to figure out how many bags you need for your yard.
