Custom Printed Sugar Cane Bags
Sugar cane bags are nearly identical to standard polythene carrier bags, however they’re incredibly eco-friendly. These bags are made from a polymer derived from sugar cane waste, making them completely carbon neutral, 100% recyclable, but just as strong and versatile as a plastic carrier bag. What’s more, because of their eco-friendly benefits, they’re completely tax exempt.
