Reusable Bags

Bags of Love are pleased to announce a new addition. Reusable bags to replace plastic bags - a reusable shopping bag that you can keep using for ever and ever. That means fewer plastic bags in circulation.

Save Money

It also means it saves you money over the next 5 years! With Marks and Spencer and other retailers charging 5p per plastic bag (and talk of 10-15p) it makes the typical shop have a new cost of up to 50p per weekly visit for 10 carrier bags. That's £26 per year and rising! We thought it would be a good idea to save you that cost and reduce the amount of plastic bags in circulation. For £29 for a pack of 5 bags in one hit you can have all the shopping in your reusable shopping bags. One years worth of buying plastic bags will be repaid in 12 months! Then you will have many free of further costs being happy that the plastic bags are not in landfill or hurting wildlife. You will be reducing the demand for plastic bags.

Made In England

You may be pleased to know our reusable bags are also made in England by our professional team - not in China or India or anywhere where there is child labour and unfair trade practice.

Our reusable bags come in Packs of 5 and made from heavy (500gsm) canvas.

So for £29 you get a great deal, peace of mind and make a small contribution to reducing some of our world problems. You get many years of value out of our reusable bags.

Our simple shopper is extremely tough, and bigger than your average plastic bag and comes with long comfortable handles - so you can have two or three on your shoulder and two or three in your hands. And because we make them with decent materials the handles will not cut into your palms like plastic bags do.

Why are plastic bags so bad?

Around 13 billion plastic bags are given free to UK shoppers every year. The bags can take between 500 and 1,000 years to decompose as they do not biodegrade. Instead they photo degrade, breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits that contaminate soil, seas and rivers, entering the food chain.

Many plastic bags end up as rubbish on beaches, roads and parks. Many marine animals mistake plastic bags for food and swallow them, with painful and often fatal consequences. Nearly 90% of floating sea litter is plastic. That is why it is so important to use reusable bags. Not only you save money but also you save the enviroment from the plague of plastic bags.
