Environmental consciousness is at an all-time high.
If you are just getting on board the Green Movement, we’ll show you how to make one easy change that will greatly benefit our Earth.
Choosing “paper or plastic” at the grocery store is all but a memory. Bags for Life are making a huge impact on society.
Printed carrier bags are favourites of fashionistas. Companies are using these eco-friendly bags as giveaways to help promote their brand.
Vendors at tradeshows are giving printed carrier bags as freebies to enhance their marketing efforts.
What are Bags for Life?
Paper or plastic shopping bags as we know them are called single use bags. Bags for life are reusable for the long haul. They are commonly constructed from natural material, which make them extremely durable.
So – bags for life are reusable shopping bags that function as carrier bags i.e. bags that carry items such as groceries, clothing and books.
Fabric Carrier Bags Provide A True Bag For Life
A Fabric carrier bag is great not only as a promotional give-away, but some retailers actually charge for consumers to take their product. Used as an impulse purchase, a high-quality and attractive carrier bag for just a minuscule amount of money is a great deal for consumers who want a nicer bag.
Different types of fabric bags that we supply are:
- Printed Cotton Bags
- Printed Jute Bags
- Printed Tote Bags
- PP Woven Bags
- PP Non-Woven Bags
What are the Optimal Materials for Reusable Bags?
Jute is among the strongest natural plant fibres. Budget-friendly jute shopping bags are biodegradable. These carrier bags have a life span of about four years and then they can be recycled. It is estimated that one jute carrier bag takes the place of 600 single use bags!
Organic Cotton printed bags for life is more expensive. However, organic farmers do not use pesticides or harmful chemicals, making this material environmental friendly. You can toss these carrier bags into the washing machine and they will stay soft.
Canvas reusable shopping bags were first on the scene and have remained a popular choice. You may not be aware that today’s canvas is generally made of cotton. In olden times, it was made of hemp. Canvas carrier bags are biodegradable.
How do Bags for Life Benefit the Environment?
Electing to join the Green Movement is a serious decision. It is normal to wonder how you – just-an-ordinary-human – can positively impact the environment.
How can you embrace the three R’s – “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”?
The more you research and study Green Living the more you will understand that almost every change you make will impact the earth either positively or negatively. In deciding to change from single use bags to reusable shopping bags you will decrease the amount of plastic in your household.
Did you know plastic is the greatest offender contributing to ocean debris?
According to a 2014 article in National Geographic, scientists representing 5 Gyres, a not for profit advocacy group, estimated that 269,000 tons of plastic are floating in the ocean. An additional four billion synthetic fibres for every square kilometre clutter the ocean floor.
These tiny particles of plastic are frequently mistaken for food by fish and birds. Ingesting plastic can cause them to die. Per the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, waste materials in the ocean kill an estimated 100,000 mammals and one million sea birds annually.
An astonishing 10% of the plastic produced each year ends up in the ocean. About 70% of it sinks to the bottom of the ocean and never disintegrates.
The innocuous brown Paper bag has long been considered preferable to plastic. After all, paper is biodegradable and easy to recycle.
How about the enormous number of trees, who must sacrifice their life for paper? Deforestation also disrupts animal’s natural habitats.
How Do Bags For Life Benefit the Consumer?
One reusable shopping bag holds the equivalent of three plastic bags packed with groceries. Not only are they affordable, material bags don’t split or rip like plastic bags. Bags for Life are convenient – grab-and-go – to the library, gym, or mall.
