With the great need to protect the environment, and our natural resources the forces are in place for rapid development of products and services to meet these challenges. Together we should explore new opportunities and how we can help save our planet by the education and distribution of cleaner and greener products and solutions.

Each year our Earth is poked with almost an infinite number of marking flags. Flags are also often used by industries such as utility construction, pet containment, hardware, forestry, landscaping, line locating, advertising, and lawn care. Most frequently we see them where Fiber Optic Cable is being buried.

Aside from being a pollutant, these steel marking flags have caused accidents and harm, when they are used to identify existing buried infrastructure on private properties and homes. Fortunately there is a new Green alternative to this process.

Biodegradable marking flags are non-toxic to humans, animals and the environment. Crews can use these flags to mark underground utility lines so excavation teams don’t damage pipes and create hazardous situations.

Flags are color-coded to APWA requirements, and are made of non-woven cellulosic material derived from wood pulp with a 24-inch wood staff. The product has an outdoor lifespan of about six months, after which it naturally degrades into the environment. Flags are available in five colors and can be printed with biodegradable ink.

With growing Federal Government regulations and available stimulus money becoming available now we need to figure out how this practice can also create jobs.
