Plastic Bags are slow to decompose and cause untold harm to wild-life. Plastic manufacturing uses valuable mineral resources and also has a negative impact on carbon emissions. Billions of plastic bags are used once and thrown away. Destruction of plastic releases benzene - a known carcinogen. However plastic bag pollution is a threat to our ecosystems that we can do something about. Say no to plastic bags! In the time it takes you to read this 3 million plastic bags will have been produced on this planet. That equates to 500 billion plastic bags a year consuming 60 million barrels of oil to manufacture them. In the UK alone we use 150 million plastic bags per week, the majority of which end up on landfill sites or being burnt, which releases a plethora of toxic chemicals into the air. Only 1 in every 200 bags is recycled and this requires energy and resources to collect and process the bags. The alternative is as simple as it is environmentally sound – Use an Eco bag..

Made of jute these bags are strong, spacious and long lasting. A person’s use of a plastic check-out bag can be counted in minutes – however long it takes to get from the shops to their homes. Plastic bags however, can take between 15 and 1000 years to break down in the environment.

Say NO to plastic bags!

Bast fibre grows the entire length of the plant stalk from roots to tip. Groups of fibres are contained in the pithy layer between the thin outer bark and the woody core. - When discarded, jute totally decomposes putting valuable nutrients back into the soil. - Environmentally friendly – non pollutant, produces non toxic gases or harmful gases by product. - Jute industry supports an estimated 5 million people in the poorest regions on earth. - One hectare of Jute plants consumes over 15 tonnes of CO2, several times higher than trees.
