Reusable Bags

Buyer's Guide: Reusable Bags

Reusable shopping bags are great for your daily routine of going to the grocery store or just transporting home goods. Being Eco-friendly is now more important than ever. There are many styles, colors, and materials that have made their way into the Eco-friendly marketplace. Choose from cotton, plastic, or bamboo, and buy them plain or printed for your store or event. Most reusable shopping bags are made of non-woven polypropylene, which is plastic, and most often produced from recycled plastic water bottles. Other reusable bag materials include cotton canvas and bamboo.

Many stock colors are available, and logos can be printed on these bags with a screen print. Major retailers and especially grocery stores offer them for sale with their branding on them, and since customers keep the bags to reuse for either personal use or shopping, high-end retailers and boutiques are also turning to them for an alternative to their store shopping bags. These bags are also often used for corporate promotional giveaways at trade shows and marketing events. Many reusable bags are produced outside of the United States and imported. They have become popular in recent years due to consumers pushing for more environmental options other than disposable plastic or paper bags that require the need to cut down trees. Now, consumers can take matters into their own hands and reduce their carbon footprint by using these reusable bags when they shop.
