Will you continue to waste resources?


In the production of a high-density polyethylene shopping bag, the waste of raw materials is much lower than that of reusable alternatives.


If a conventional high-density polyethylene shopping bag is reused 3 times, a non-woven bag has to be used 33 times and a cotton bag 393 times for its ecological footprint to be lower.


After reuse, if we consider the typical end use as a substitute for a household garbage bag, the environmental impact will be even lower.


Solution: Maximize the reuse of supermarket bags.
