Why should businesses use Reusable Shopping Bags?

Eco-Friendly Image and Sustainability

  • Reduced Environmental Impact: By opting for reusable bags, businesses can significantly reduce their contribution to plastic pollution and landfills. This aligns with the growing global concern for environmental sustainability.
  • Positive Brand Image: Embracing reusable bags showcases a commitment to eco-friendly practices, which can boost a company's reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers.

Cost Savings and Marketing Opportunities

  • Long-Term Cost Savings: Although reusable bags may initially cost more than single-use plastic bags, they are durable and can be used multiple times, saving money in the long run.
  • FREE Walking advertisement for your business: Customized reusable bags serve as mobile advertisements for businesses. When customers carry these bags in public, they effectively promote the brand, increasing its visibility and reach.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

  • Plastic Bans and Regulations: Many regions have implemented or are considering bans on single-use plastics. Using reusable bags ensures compliance with current and future regulations, avoiding potential fines or legal issues.
  • Customer Convenience: In areas with plastic bans, providing reusable bags can enhance the shopping experience for customers who may have left their own bags at home.

Types of Reusable Bags

Categorization by material

Here are some common reusable bags categorized by material:

  • Paper Bags: Paper bags are 100% biodegradable. They can be both reused and recycled (the number of recycling is limited). When they are no longer usable, they can be processed into new paper products in the paper recycling system.
  • Jute (Hessian) bags: Hessian bags (also called burlap bags) are a more sustainable option. Hessian is made from the fibers of the jute plant. And these bags are also 100 percent biodegradable.
  • Cotton bags: Cotton bags are made from a durable and reusable material - natural cotton fibers. These bags are reusable, biodegradable, and can be recycled. However, the energy and water needed for their production are significant.
  • Non-woven bags: This type of bag is made from PP plastic pellets heated at a high temperature, stretched into long fibers, and bonded together to form non-woven fabric sheets. They have a decomposition time of approximately 3 to 4 years, making it reduce waste in the environment. Non-woven fabric bags can be reused numerous times because of their durable design, capacity for high weights, and good water resistance. So, they can reuse without quickly tearing or wearing out. Additionally, they are great for carrying objects in wet weather because of their water resistance.

Categorization by shape bags

Here are some common reusable bags categorized by shape:

  • Tote bags: Most tote bags nowadays are made of 100% cotton. Because of this, it's a rather water and energy-intensive choice. However, the good news is that they are washable, reusable hundreds or even thousands of times, and most significantly, they are biodegradable.
  • T-shirt bags: A t-shirt bag has a shape resembling a T-shirt. This type of bag is commonly used in grocery stores, supermarkets, and retail shops because it is a lightweight and convenient option for carrying goods. T-shirt bags are typically crafted of thin plastic materials like polyethylene (PE). They have two handles extending from the top, resembling the sleeves of a T-shirt. 
  • Foldable Bags: This kind of bag can be folded or rolled into a compact size for easy storage. They are often made of nylon or polyester. Foldable bags are eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic bags because they can be reused a lot of time, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Frequently asked question 

What are reusable bags called?

A reusable shopping bag is sometimes called a bag for life in the UK.

How many times do you have to reuse a reusable bag?

According to a report created for the United Nations Environmental Programme in 2020, a thick and sturdy polypropylene (PP) bag (which frequently has a woven feel) must be used an estimated 10 to 20 times compared to one single-use plastic bag, while a slimmer but still reusable polyethylene (PE) bag must be used five to ten times. 

Are reusable bags good for the environment?

Reusable bags are often more environmentally friendly, according to Miller. However, in order to genuinely have an impact on the environment, they need to be reused a large number of times. She explained that reusable bags are required to be used a minimum number of times because of the materials they are made of.

Should you wash reusable grocery bags?

  • For non-woven polypropylene bags, you need to hand-wash them in warm, soapy water, and then air-dry them. 
  • For cotton and canvas bags you can toss them in the washer with detergent and hot water.
