Has this happened to you?
The BAGGEE is an easy solution so that you always have some bags with you for shopping, that emergency or trash in the car. An easy and convenient way to reuse disposable plastic bags responsibly - the BAGGEE is a hollow flexible ball attached to a key chain. It has a thumb-sized hole allowing several plastic grocery bags to be stored inside, so they are always available and at your fingertips.
The FACTS:
While estimates vary, most agree that BILLIONS of disposable plastic bags are used annually.
The EPA estimates only about 12% of the category of plastics which includes bags, sacks and wraps were recycled in 2011. The rest are either tossed into landfills or are left as litter, impacting the environment and saddling your cities and tax dollars with the cost of cleaning them up.
Some cities are now starting to mandate that merchants charge for shopping bags or are banning some plastic bags altogether. Reusing plastic bags before recycling them is a great way to reduce the use and impact of these.
What else can you do to reduce?
Carry your purchases out of the store without a bag.
Fill the bags you do use as full as possible.
Use the BAGGEE to easily transport plastic bags for reuse.
Recycle your bags in grocery stores - many now offer bins specifically for plastic bag recycling.
