With plastic waste becoming a real problem across the world, it’s becoming ever-more important to transition to plastic-free and recycled packaging. Avoidance of single-use waste is of huge importance, both to reduce landfill usage and waste going into the natural environment. At Carrierbags.co.uk, we do our best to make sure that our bags, across all ranges, are made from recycled materials, ensuring that we are able to re-circulate waste and avoid single-use materials. See below our range of bags made from recycled materials.
Our polythene bags contain 30% recycled polythene on orders above 5000, and polythene carrier bags can be recycled at local supermarkets and recycling points, allowing for the materials to be used again.
View Our Plastic BagsOur paper bags can be made from 100% recycled materials for orders above 10,000 bags. All our paper bags are completely recyclable, and the paper is FSC certified.
View Our Paper BagsDepending on the bag you desire, we may be able to source your fabric bags to be made with recycled materials, and we can even have these made with organic and fairtrade materials too.
View Our Fabric BagsPotato starch bags made from natural and renewable materials meaning they’re not only recycled, but they’re completely sustainable. They’re also eco-friendly to dispose of – this prevents bags being taken to landfill where they’ll take years to decompose and replaces them with bags that will disintegrate down to water, CO2 and biomass in under 3 months.
View Bag & Get A QuoteOur sugar cane bags are made from sugar cane waste and turned into a polymer. This means they’re entirely as strong and effective as a polythene bag with the bonus of being made from natural, sustainable materials, carbon neutral, fully recyclable and tax exempt.
View Bag & Get A QuoteYes, recycled bags are made from previously recycled waste, which prevents waste going to landfill. Bags made from scratch require raw materials to be extracted from the environment, (for instance trees and water for paper bags) which is much less eco-friendly than repurposing existing materials.
A recycled bag is made from materials that were previously used for something else. A biodegradable bag is made from natural materials, often waste product or natural fibres, that are then turned into a bag that when disposed of, will disintegrate into natural matter.
