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 then we will have made a breakthrough.
In October 2015 England introduced the 5p plastic carrier bag charge on all shops and chains around the country with 250+ full time employees. Over the next decade this hopes to save the country in £60 million litter clean-up costs and £13m in carbon savings.
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.
