Say “No” to Plastic Bags

Plastic bags with carrying handles are used in large numbers worldwide - stores often provide them as a convenience to shoppers.

However, we all know we should be making a more conscious effort to be more proactive - one of the ways we can contribute to the environment is by saying “NO” to the use of plastic shopping bags.

But firstly, here are some of the reasons why you should say “NO” to Plastic Bags and choose Non-Woven Tote Bags as an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic shopping bags:

  1. Plastic bags are made from ethylene, a by-product of natural gas or from naphtha, a by-product of petroleum. Reserves of gas and oil are limited and using them to make bags means that less oil and gas will be available for other uses.
  2. When disposed of improperly, plastic bags are unsightly and represent a hazard to wildlife and exposes fisheries to eminent danger. Aquatic life can be threatened through entanglement, suffocation, and ingestion.
  3. Plastic bags, conventional or “biodegradable”, do not readily biodegrade in a sanitary landfill

ToteBag Factory offers a great range of eco-friendly tote bags that have less impact on the earth.

Why not do your bit for the environment whilst promoting your brand and company at the same time?

Being environmentally friendly, doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on quality or looks when it comes to corporate gifts or promotional items.
