Amazon.com to Sell Perf Go Green Products Beginning Mid-June
Tuesday June 10, 8:49 am ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (“Perf Go Green”) (OTCBB: PGOG, www.perfgogreen.com), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics announced today that the company’s first products – the 13 gallon kitchen trash bags and 30 gallon lawn and leaf bags – will be available for purchase on Amazon.com (www.amazon.com) beginning in mid-June.
“By offering our products on Amazon.com, we’re providing consumers another easy way to purchase our products prior to hitting grocery store shelves,” said Perf Go Green CEO Tony Tracy. “Perf Go Green is about education and making simple changes that facilitate a greener lifestyle. Amazon.com offers a number of environmentally conscience products, making it a convenient one-stop destination for finding these complementary green products.”
Perf Go Green patented products are made of recycled plastics that are combined with an Oxo-Biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for the bags. When discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, Perf Go Green products biodegrade, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, the company effectively removes plastic waste from the environment.
Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products received an honor for their design quality and innovation. In addition to offering its products online, Perf Go Green is rolling out its first items in nationwide chain stores later this year.

Bashas' Supermarkets to Begin Selling Perf Go Green Products in Early October
Monday June 16, 8:00 am ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (“Perf Go Green”) (OTCBB: PGOG, www.perfgogreen.com), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, announced today that the company’s first products – the 13 gallon kitchen trash bags and 30 gallon lawn and leaf bags – will be available for purchase throughout Bashas supermarkets, beginning early October.
Bashas, www.bashas.com, is an Arizona-based family owned and operated grocer with more than 160 stores throughout the western U.S.
“We could not be more excited to bring Perf Go Green products to grocery store shelves this fall,” said Perf Go Green CEO Tony Tracy. “It’s clear that people want solutions to plastic waste and Perf Go Green will allow for the convenience of traditional bags without the harmful effect to the environment.”
“Bashas was a natural fit for Perf Go Green products,” added Ron Fahomme, Road Runner Sales and Marketing. “Perf Go Green will be complementary to other household products Bashas carries and the grocer is already committed to a number of environmental causes.”
Bashas’ Family of Stores has a number of initiatives already in place to reduce its impact on the environment and regularly invites shoppers to join in the efforts. As a result, the grocer recycles more than 25,000 tons of cardboard and plastic materials every year; conserves enough energy annually to power 7,500 homes; and will use a fuel-efficient program to eliminate 1,775 tons of CO2 emissions annually from its fleet of trucks, a reduction equivalent to removing one-third of its trucks from the road.
