AD | You want to get some bags to be able to use for various things around the house or outside of it. Your goal is to stop using one-time paper or plastic bags since they will wind up in landfills and not be good for the environment. But which type will you choose from?
There are a surprisingly large amount of sustainable shopper bags to choose from. Take a look at some of them:
Non-woven
When it comes to making these bags, there is no knitting or weaving. Instead, they make them through a process involving chemicals or heat. This will make the price go down since it is not hand-made.
You can buy these in bulk if you have a lot of uses in mind for them, including shopping, storage, or just using them to transport items to and from work.
Canvas Bags
These are very hardy and you can fill them with a lot more than you would with a lot of other types of bags. They are also able to be washed and their price point tends to fall on the affordable side. That is excellent for both your home and your wallet.
Cotton Bags
The biggest pro for this type of bag is that you can wash them pretty easily. If you buy groceries and something breaks or spills, then that won’t be the end of the world – just throw it in the washer. That means they will last for a lot longer and you won’t be tempted to get rid of them for a good amount of time.
Jute Bags
People might not have heard of this type, given its unusual name. It’s made of a natural plant fiber that people can make strong threads out of. The result is a very durable bag.
This is a renewable resource and not very expensive. As far as being eco-friendly, it is both biodegradable and compostable, which helps things tremendously.
Nylon Bags
The material is quite lightweight but it is also extremely strong and durable. It’s also water resistant, which is helpful if you get caught in a rainstorm. You can also wad it up in a ball when not using, which makes for much easier storage compared to other bags.
You have plenty here to choose from, and it will be hard to make a wrong choice. You just have to consider your needs and your budget.

Interesting suggestions! I ought look into some if these. I kinda gave up on reusable bags because I always forgot them at home. Maybe a nicer one will help in that area 🙂
