This packable recycled shopping tote is made from recycled plastic collected in Indonesia, then stitched by a family business into a quality item that carries a whopping 15-year guarantee. Made by Groundtruth, these bags (and everything else made by them) were created by explorers and have survived everything, even penguin poo! The bags have ripstop fabric to make them resilient and easy to clean, and each tote removes 8 plastic bottles from our planet.
Store all bags away from children and pets. If you do launder bags made with synthetic fibres (like recycled plastic), use a microplastics catcher.
There are many alternatives to plastic grocery bags on the market today, but what’s even better is to create a plastic-bag-free town or city. Rather than waiting for government to act, just get your community together and have a voluntary ban instead. Single-use plastic bags are not yet banned in England, though they are in many countries (including Bangladesh to prevent floods). They often get snagged in trees or dumped in rivers, where they choke wildlife or end up in the sea. So why not invest in a few good bags, and keep them in your bag or glovebox?
