Environmental Options & Cremation-Friendly Products

Chlorine-Free Medical Grade LDPE

All Medgear body bags are manufactured using chlorine-free LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene). This means our production process avoids the environmental and health concerns associated with chlorinated plastics. When incinerated, chlorine-free materials produce significantly fewer harmful emissions than PVC or other chlorinated alternatives.

Cremation-Friendly Veterinary Products

Medgear's veterinary body bags are specifically designed to be cremation-friendly. The materials burn cleanly and completely, leaving minimal residue and producing no harmful byproducts. This is critical for veterinary clinics that handle pet cremation and need products that respect both the animal and the environment.

All four veterinary sizes — Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large — are cremation-friendly.

Ontario Made — Lower Carbon Footprint

Manufacturing locally in Uxbridge, Ontario means Medgear products travel shorter distances to reach Canadian customers compared to imported alternatives. This significantly reduces transportation-related carbon emissions. Key benefits:

• Reduced fuel consumption vs. overseas shipping
• No air freight required for urgent orders
• Support for local manufacturing jobs and economy
• Lower packaging requirements for domestic transport

Responsible Material Sourcing

Medgear sources materials from suppliers that meet Canadian environmental and safety standards. Our LDPE is:

• Medical grade — tested for safety and performance
• Chlorine-free — no PVC or halogenated compounds
• Recyclable — where recycling facilities exist for LDPE
• Lightweight — efficient shipping with lower fuel use
