Share on FacebookImpulse buyers will not carry reusable bags. Really?
What if they had a nice big polyester shopping bag which folds into a tiny little pouch, is waterproof, has a zip closure and can be reused thousands of times?
I suspect many people would make carrying such a bag a habit. It fits comfortably into a pocket or a handbag and leaves no argument in favour of plastic bags.
With more than 60% consumers having categorically stated that they are willing to pay for reusable bags, and Ireland having proved without a doubt that taxing plastic bags cuts down consumption 93% within a year, I’m amazed that governments still hesitate to tax plastic bags.
Many assumptions are made about how expensive reusable bags would be. Why not just check out our website and discover the facts? Reusable cloth bags are more affordable than most people realise.

I think you are right that reusable bags are a great “weapon” to combat the plastic bag nuisance. I purchased one in a very faraway place in Haryana(Adampur - the least expected place in the world where you can buy such a thing) on a trip to my relatives place. I liked it so much that I brought it to Singapore where I currently stay! I think people must be made aware of the existence of these “units”.
One disadvantage though, is , if you have to suddenly but something, you will not be having this with you at the time. But as more people start using these, everyone will have one in their bags (just like people carry tissue papers on their body and bags in Singapore!)
