Find Eco-Friendly retail bags for the shop?

Question

I work in a small Boutique and we currently use super gloss retail plastic bags which aren't only lacking in durability and aesthetic value, they are not eco-friendly.

Does anyone know where i can find inexpensive eco-friendly retail bags? Mind you the bags would only need to carry a couple of items such as some tops, or a pair of jeans,dresses etc...

I've been googling this for a while now =]

I appreciate your help =]

Answer 1

No plastic bag is eco-friendly. You could try paper/card bags with handles- I think there are lots of companies that sell these. Also you could get the 'bag for life' fabric bags that you sell for 50p or something and then encourage people to bring them when they next go shopping. You could get the company logo on them and have something about how they help the environment. This site has some: http://www.cottoncanvastotebags.co.uk/sh...

Also try not to offer people a bag. Only if they ask for one. There are too many shops where they practically force a big plastic bag on you. What is your shop called?

Hope this helps

I TAKE IT ECO- MEANS  ECONOMY. ANYWAY I LIKE THESE NORMAL PLASTIC BAGS AND I USE THEM AND IF THINGS CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE. I WILL TAKE MY PLASTIC BAGS TO THE GROCERY STORE AND USE MY OWN. STATEING THAT I TRUST THEM AND THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WANT TO CHANGE IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN LITERACY.
