 avoiding the generation of methane associated with landfill.
The inclusion of biogenic carbon dioxide in the eco-indicator results increases the impact of the starch-polyester blend bag and the paper bag in comparison to the other carrier bag options.
The amount of biogenic carbon dioxide equivalents emitted at the end-of-life of these bag lifecycle is greater than the biogenic carbon dioxide equivalents absorbed during production, therefore providing a marginal net increase in the GWP impact.
For the starch-polyester bags it was estimated that 0.59 kilograms of carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere for every kilogram of mater-bi produced.
The starch-polyester bag degrades fully to methane and carbon dioxide in landfill, producing a higher global warming impact from the end-of-life than the paper bag, which does not fully degrade in landfill.
The cotton, starch-polyester blend and paper bags have the highest land use due to the land required for the growth of raw materials, although the impact of land use on starchpolyester bag is dominated by the use of corrugated board for packaging with only 20 per cent of the land use impact from the production of the starch polyester.
The starch-polyester carrier bags considered were based on manufacturer’s data and weighed almost twice as much as conventional HDPE carrier bags.
They had the highest impacts of the lightweight carrier bags in every category apart from abiotic resource depletion. Since the reference period, the weight of starch polyester bags has been reduced by manufacturers to similar to that of the conventional HDPE bag.
On a weight for weight basis this suggests that the global warming potential, acidification and photochemical oxidation impacts of the starch-polyester bag would be similar to conventional HDPE carrier bags, as indicated in other reports on the subject.
However, the impacts of global warming potential, eutrophication, toxicity and ecotoxicity for the starch-polyester blend bag studied would still be worse than conventional plastic bags due to the high impacts of raw material production, transport and landfill on those categories.
The secondary reuse of lightweight carrier bags was fundamental to their environmental performance, particularly in terms of abiotic depletion, global warming potential, toxicity, ecotoxicity and photochemical oxidation.
Recycling and composting reduced the global warming potential of the paper bag by 21 per cent and nine per cent respectively, but could also cause significant rises in aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicity.
The environmental impact of carrier bags is dominated by resource use and production. Transport, secondary packaging and end-of-life processing generally have a minimal influence on their environmental performance.
The key to reducing the impact of all carrier bags is to reuse them as much as possible and where reuse for shopping is not practical, secondary reuse in application such as bin liners is beneficial.
The reuse of conventional HDPE and other lightweight carrier bags for shopping and/or as bin-liners can substantially improve their environmental performance.
Reusing lightweight carrier bags as bin liners produces greater benefits than recycling bags due to the benefits of avoiding the production of the bin liners they replace.
For the impacts categories considered, the HDPE bag with prodegradant additives increased the environmental impacts from those of the conventional HDPE bag.
Starch-polyester blend bags have a higher global warming potential than conventional polymer bags, due to the increased weight of material in a bag, higher material production impacts and a higher end-of-life impact in landfill.
Recycling or composting generally produces only a small reduction in global warming potential and abiotic depletion. The reduction is greatest for the biodegradable bags – paper and starch-polyester. Composting of starch-polyester bags significantly reduces the contribution of the end-of-life stage to global warming.

If you're lucky, sometimes lightning really does strike twice...
A few years ago Saul Koll lit up the guitar world when he showcased a recently acquired 1972 Marshall Super Lead at his NAMM booth, and not just any Super Lead - Neil Young's Super Lead - the very one used on "Rockin' In The Free World"!!! As if that weren't cool enough, Saul also unveiled a tribute to Neil's "Old Black" Les Paul - a Koll Super Glide Almighty, made to resemble Neil's famous Les Paul of the same name. One of one.
As you'd imagine, that SGA sold immediately. Heck, it never even made it back from the NAMM show to our shop! It looked awesome in the pics...sure wish Saul would make another one someday...maybe if we ask nicely....a few times....just maybe?
Folks, that day has come, and let us tell you, it was well worth the wait. This guitar is ridiculously cool. ﻿Koll fans, we can hear your collective hoots and hollers from here - believe us, we're doing it too! It's hard not to let out an audible "ooooh myyyy!!!" when seeing this guitar in person. Everything we love about Koll guitars - the Glide body shape, the playability, attention to detail (Saul even added the 2nd "mystery control cover" from Neil's guitar on the back - definitely pop that cover off when you get the guitar, btw), tones, feel, musicality - it's all here...all this while looking like Neil's Old Black? Get. Out. Of. Here. With. That!! Too cool.
What's especially cool about this guitar is that it really feels like a Koll made Les Paul - it has the weight, the stout feel and response, and the punchy "please crank the amp louder!" tones. It makes you just want to plug in and rock, period. You get it. This is what rock n roll is all about, right?
This SGA "Old Black - Neil" may well be the last one Saul builds...? For now, it's one of two in existence. You know what to you - hit "add to cart" before it's gone. You won't regret it, trust us! Priced with hardshell case.
Two developers fail to appear at a public hearing on a zoning request for an 11-acre upscale project on Bray Road.
A surprise move by developers of a proposed 50-unit development in Gloucester Point caught Gloucester's Board of Supervisors off-guard Tuesday night and angered citizens who had come to testify against it.
Developers Bob Foster and Mike Wilson want to rezone about 11 acres on Bray Road to build an upscale development called "Twin Island Farms" targeting people ages 55 and over. But they asked the supervisors to delay Tuesday's public hearing so Foster and Wilson could meet with local residents to work out concerns about traffic and property values.
After discussing options with county attorney Daniel Stuck, the supervisors voted unanimously to open a public hearing and allow residents in attendance to speak -- and then keep the hearing open until their March meeting. At that time the board intends to finish taking comments and make a decision.
The scene was in stark contrast to a public hearing and a 6-1 decision by the supervisors just moments earlier to approve a similar 50-unit project called "Magnolia Point" on Route 17. Magnolia Point is in a less-populated area, and it received no public opposition, but the Twin Island Farms project would go on a narrow, unlined road in a residential area of homes and apartments, and nearby residents have galvanized in opposition.
Wilson and Foster plan to build 50 condominiums with a minimum size of 1,600 square feet that would start at $200,000 and have two bedrooms.
Gloucester Point resident Ray Morales said, "I am terribly offended by the request that the applicant has made. I think you should be outraged by this, too."
Wesley Green presented the supervisors with a petition signed by 64 local residents opposed to the Twin Island Farms project. He also supplied documents that contradict developers' claims the complex won't affect traffic.
He said the developers' study failed to take into account that 10 of the 50 units won't have to be sold to people 55 years or older, meaning it's likely some homeowners will be younger and have children. That means more vehicle trips compared
