Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Monday, March 16, 2020 6 Reusable Food Wraps & Bags from Buzzee If you take a look around your kitchen or office right now, chances are you'll notice you're surrounded by plastic – water bottles, straws, plastic grocery bags, food wrappers, take-out containers, single-serve coffee pods, disposable utensils and produce bags. These are all examples of single-use plastic products, which represent the epitome of today's throwaway culture. Roughly half of the annual plastic production in the world is destined for single-use plastics. Luckily, many con- sumers are starting to choose reusable items as much as they can and cities are banning single use plastics, working towards a clean globe. Buzzee is an Atlanta-based company that makes reusable food wraps and bags, creating a buzz in the industry with its easy to use, quality products. Buzzee Founder Pushpa Santhosh was inspired by her father, who has been weaving cotton for more than four decades in India, and her mother, who always uses the fabric to bag produce and cover jars. When her son was born in 2016, she wanted to minimize how much plastic her family used and threw away. Drawing from her family history, she decided to try her hand at making this cotton-based alternative. Buzzee products are made with 100 percent organic printed cotton cer- tified by Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). The wraps are infused with tropical beeswax, organic virgin coconut oil, organic citrus essential oils and Himalayan pine tree resin. They are reusable, wash- able, compostable and longer-lasting than their plastic counterparts. Buzzee would be the thinnest beeswax wrap available in the market. Most would agree that dealing with sticky and bulky food wrap is far from convenient when making an effort to transition from plastic habits. Buzzee's reusable approach helps reduce sin- gle-use plastics, like bag- gies and cling wrap. While its organic cotton bags are great for shopping trips, straining nut milk, bagging produce and bulk food items, with vibrant patterns (including one drawn by Pushpa's young daughter), a wrap can work to store produce, cover bowls, save cheese, seal up leftovers, stash a sandwich, and above all, reduce plastic consumption while keeping food fresh.

GreenTech Environmental Introduces New pureComfort YEAR-ROUND New for 2020, GreenTech Environmental introduces innovative heating and cool- ing technology to meet the consumer demand for a single appliance that is both a powerful fan and a heavy-duty heater. GreenTech's Founder, inventor, innovator and lead engineer, Allen Johnston, set out to replicate the indus- try leaders technologies at a price that consumers would embrace where retail- ers can still achieve strong MAP mar- gins. Building on the success of its best- selling bladeless fan, pureFlow QT7, the new pureComfort YEAR-ROUND sells for a fraction of the price of the market leader. This heater/fan adds features while reducing the cost to the consumer. Priced conveniently below $200 (less than one- third of the price of competing bladeless heater/fan combos) it's an affordable product that will keep your seasonal sales consistent throughout the year. pureComfort YEAR-ROUND can make any room more comfortable, every day, in all four seasons. "The market response has been incredibly positive. Its popularity is growing quickly and orders are rolling in," says GreenTech's Director of Independent Retail Jayme Crean. "The unique design really draws customers in to see what it's all about." Consumers are also raving about the high-speed heating and cooling capabili- ties in such a small unit. pureComfort YEAR-ROUND distributes the air even- ly up to 15 feet throughout your space. Controlling the temperature between 60 degrees to 90 degrees is simple with the touch panel or included remote control. For added convenience and energy sav- ings, pureComfort YEAR-ROUND offers a one to nine hour timer that automatically shuts off. The manual tilt of up to 52.5 degrees makes heating and cooling pos- sible from the floor or counter. Combined with its fast heating and cool down times, the amount of airflow that it moves makes this an easy decision for customers needing 100 percent heater and 100 percent fan. This heater/fan combo takes safety to a whole new level. The Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC) heater main- tains a much lower internal temperature than other space heaters, which means the grille is safe and the heater is inca- pable of causing a fire. In addition, PTC heat proves to be more efficient and con- sistent while lasting much longer than other heaters. The bladeless fan keeps curious fingers or paws protected so that you can use it with children and pets playing nearby. In recent years, GreenTech Environmental's brand has emerged as the company to watch as a designer, manufacturer and marketer of quality electri- cal appliances that improve lifestyle and health while being a leader in environ- mental responsibility. Company categories include air puri- fiers, portable heaters, portable fans, power management devices and the unique pureWash PRO X2, which requires no detergent and uses only cold water to clean laundry. Since 2018, the brand has been found in big box retail, independent appliance, hardware and e- commerce. Come and see the hottest and coolest new product, pureComfort YEAR- ROUND, debuting in booth #L12450. For more information, stop by booth #L12450 or go to www.greentechenv.com.
