A Product that's Good for the Environment
We believe it is right to try to reduce the number of plastic carriers in circulation. If we can have a small impact on the amount of plastic bags thrown away.
Once discarded these bags can take thousands of years to fully decompose, whilst causing untold problems to our environment and wildlife.
By making simple changes to our shopping habits, we can help to eradicate these environmental issues. Next time you are offered the use of a plastic bag, just think of the impact that it will have and just say NO !!!
At Bagtrade, we pride ourselves on using natural and environmentally friendly materials. When we are required to colour either cotton or jute material, we ensure that AZO Free Dyes with water based binders are used.

Fairtrade, Organic and Fully Bio-Degradable
In additional to the high ethical and environmental standards outlined above, we recognise that sometimes our customers have a very specific brief from their clients for certified products. Thus we have formed new partnerships with new material suppliers which have enabled us to offer products with even more impressive ethical credentials.
We can now offer GOTS certified Organic bags, Fairtrade bags and even Carbon Neutral bags depending on the demands of the customer.
Moreover, many people don't realise that the majority of Jute products sold are not actually fully bio-degradable. With Bagtrade's bespoke LDPE laminated Jute material, however, you can offer your clients a bag that is 100% bio-degradable, and 100% environmentally friendly.
