Trash Liners

with Antimicrobial Protection
Microban antimicrobial protection has been keeping food preparation equipment and supplies cleaner and fresher between cleanings for over a decade. Now this protection is being offered in trash bag liners.

Aluf Plastics offers trash can liners with Microban protection. Antimicrobial protection is built into the liners during manufacturing to provide continuous protection. For trash can liners this protection inhibits the growth of bacteria that can cause odors.

When microbes come in contact with the product surface, this protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism, making it unable to function, grow and reproduce. However, Microban protection does not protect the user from food-borne illnesses.

Gloves and Dispensing Systems

Foodborne illness costs the U.S. foodservice industry $7.6 billion each year. Gloves and dispensing systems are more products a distributor can sell into the industry.

Cleaner, fully enclosed dispensers reduce contamination by eliminating glove boxes on counters that can get wet and dirty. Those conditions become breeding grounds for dangerous bacteria. Volk Protective Products’ Dispense Safe system keeps right-type, fresh, clean gloves convenient to each prep area and washing station, increasing employee compliance.

Wall-mounted dispensers improve efficiency by freeing up counter space. This space-saving benefit is second only to the economic efficiency that one-at-a-time dispensing affords by reducing waste.

Volk also offers a large selection of vinyl and latex gloves. Made of latex-free synthetic material, vinyl gloves are an ideal substitute for people with latex-sensitivity. Vinyl is also an affordable solution for foodservice environments. Latex offers excellent durability, elasticity and chemical resistance making it one of the best barrier protective solutions.
