Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The ecoLiving Organic Fruit and Vegetable Net Bag replaces plastic produce bags.
The Bag is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton.
We all know the devastation caused to the environment by plastic bags. It's a common sight to see bags blowing in the wind, caught up in trees and floating down streams. Plastic bags cause great harm to wildlife, who commonly mistake them for food, often with fatal consequences. It can take over 1000 years for a plastic bag to break down, and unfortunately during this time, they degrade into smaller and smaller pieces known as microplastics. These microplastics end up being washed into our rivers and oceans, where they continue to pollute the environment and contaminate the food chain. Even reusable plastic bags cause a problem. They don't last for every, and no matter how careful you are with their disposal, it's difficult to know that they won't end up polluting the environment. Due to their extremely lightweight nature, they can easily be blown from the bins, lorries and facilities that make up the recycling system. Ditching plastic bags from your shopping routine is one of the easiest steps you can make to leading a more eco-friendly life. The Reusable Cotton Produce Bag is the perfect replacement, and will far outlive a plastic bag. Plus, when it does reach the end of its life, it's so simple to recycle or compost, where it will break down without a trace.
The Bag is 100% packaging free.
The Reusable Cotton Net Bag should last for a long time with the right care, but if it needs to be disposed of, it can be recycled with fabrics at your local household recycling centre, or composted at home.
