Environmentally friendly pinch bottom bag assembly and method of making

An environmentally-friendly bag assembly that is ready to be filled with material and closed for shipment to a consumer, comprising:

• a plastic inner tube that is closed at a factory end thereof, said inner tube being fabricated from a heat-sealable plastic material, said closed factory end being heat sealed closed;
• and
• an outer tube positioned around said inner tube, said outer tube being closed in a folded-over end portion at a factory end thereof which corresponds to said factory end of said inner tube, said factory end of said outer tube being constructed and arranged so that no plastic material from the inner tube is trapped within said folded-over end portion, whereby no plastic material will be retained in said closed factory end of said outer tube when the inner tube is removed from the outer tube by a consumer, said outer tube further comprising a release coating that is adjacent to said factory end of said inner tube for preventing plastic material from said inner tube from adhering to said outer tube as a result of heat sealing of said factory end of said inner tube that is performed by applying heat through said outer tube.
