Get Reusable Shopping Bags To Promote Your Business

Reusable shopping bags have been a hot topic in Australia for several years now. The push to expel plastic bags from point of sales areas is a good one that we fully support and that’s why we have a huge range of reusable shopping bags in many types of material. We have the standard non woven bags that Woolworths and Coles first introduced into the market and now almost everything shopping centre offers them in some form or other. Calico bags are another favourite choice and you are now seeing Jute bags come into the market, though they are still a little pricey compared to other styles.

One material that is starting to win favour is bamboo. This fast growing plant has started to gain a reputation as a great alternative that is not only a reusable shopping bag, but also ecofriendly. There is some misconception in the market place that “reusable” is ecofriendly. It is in the fact that you are not throwing a bag out each time you shop, but repeatedly use it. This doesn’t necessarily mean the bag material itself is good for the environment. Non-woven bags have petroleum in their manufacturing and do not biodegrade easily. If you want reusable shopping bags that are also eco-friendly then pick materials such as calico, jute or bamboo. If you are unsure give us a call and we can help guide you through this labyrinth of choices.
