Baggu Bags - A Design from the States


LET US EXPLAIN WHY BAGGUS ARE SO GOOD.

We are working to replace our old friends, the paper & plastic bags, with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.

One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags. 6 bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries.

Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder. These handles are so lovely and gentle that they don't hurt ur hands at all even when you are carrying heavy stuff, unlike the plastic bags and the paper bags you got it for free.


They are made from super strong rip-stop nylon (holds 25 lbs = 11.34kg) so they are light (2 oz = 56.7g) and compactible. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket. That way they are always handy when you need them.

Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk.)

1 Piece - S$14.00

Some other ways to use Baggu!


You can also use it as a shoe bag, your gym bag. It is ideal for your beach outings as well!

It is definately ur ideal shopping bag!

Have you got cupboards of paper & plastic bags chucked aside? We are not counting those u have thrown away, those with lousy design or torn after 1 use. And how many paper bags from ur cupboard are reused?

STOP taking any more free paper & plastic bags. Use the our fashionable shopping bag, BAGGUS!

.

Footnote:

We know that there are a lot of reusable bags given out free, or they only cost a dollar over some supermarket counters. However, should you examine the material carefully, almost all are made from paper (just another type of paper). So, these bags are NOT washable! In addition, the handles are usually stitched to the bag. These bags may not be able to carry as much heavy stuff as you imagine.

Benefits of using Reusable Bags

In addition to helping the environment, reusable bags are also:

  • kinder to hands and fingers than plastic carrier bags when filled up and carried as they are better designed for the purpose,

  • can hold twice as many items as conventional plastic carrier bags,

  • have handle straps that can go over the shoulder, leaving both our hands free for other purposes and making it easier for us to carry more,

  • will not burst under the weight of heavy items, and are inexpensive, can be washed and last for years.

Facts about Paper Bags

Paper Bags Are Not a Better Choice

Say using plastic bags is so destructive to our environment, then let’s look for an alternative.

Paper bags? It may not be such a good idea.

Yes, paper bags are made from a renewable source and they are biodegradable. But look at paper bag manufacturing, usage, and even disposal problems, and you will see why they are not a better choice.


Birth: Compared to plastic, making a paper bag:
emits 70% more global warming gasses
creates 50 times more water pollution
uses 4 times more raw materials
consumes 3.5 times more energy

Life: Once used, paper bags are unlikely to be re-used. They tear easily and are made for one time usage.

Facts about Plastic Bags

The petroleum in 14 plastic bags could drive a car a mile.
Plastic bags are made from petroleum, a finite resource. About 2.5 billion plastic shopping bags are used every year. That’s about 2,500 bags used per family per year.


It takes .48 MJ to produce a bag. (MJ stands for megajoule, the amount of energy it takes to heat 3 liters of water to boiling. Three liters is enough to make 12 cups of coffee or tea.) That .48 MJ includes the petroleum that the plastic itself is made from, as well as the petroleum burned as energy in the manufacturing process to make the bag. An average car consumes 4.18 MJ in driving 1 km, or the equivalent of 7 plastic bags. Convert this to miles and you get the equivalent of 14 bags per mile driven.


Think! How many barrels of oil are we throwing away?



Plastic bags are very bad litter.
Plastic bags thrown away as litter, dirty our public places, rivers and canals, and may even clog up drains, and this would lead to stagnant water and mosquito breeding. Plastic bags litter despoils nature trails, beaches and even chokes up mangroves and poses a threat to marine lives.



Just a tiny part from you.
If each family uses one less plastic bag a week, Singapore could save more than 50 million bags each year. By using reusable bags during our shopping trips, we will use fewer plastic bags and help to conserve earth’s resources.



We incinerate plastic bags in Singapore.
Plastic bags are not disposed of at Semakau Landfill. They are incinerated, along with other domestic wastes. Hence, unlike countries that landfill their waste, the non-biodegradability of plastic bags is not a problem in Singapore.

That does not mean that we should use plastic bag excessively! It is a waste of resources.

TAKE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

To prolong the life span of our incineration plants and landfill site, we can help to minimise the waste generated by adopting the waste management hierarchy, ie. the 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Reduce - to avoid unnecessary waste generation.
Reuse - to use again.
Recycle - to convert unwanted things into useful and marketable recycled products.
