Plastics account for a significant amount of global waste, especially in the forms of bottles and bags. Results of high demand for convenient, disposable products, these plastics accumulate out of sight in landfills and in the world's oceans, where they're responsible for scores of marine animal deaths and for the creation of veritable islands of garbage. Insisting on the use of reusable bags has been a staple method of cutting down on personal waste and supporting global eco-friendly initiatives for years, as the simple adoption of such bags can make a major difference in the volume of personal plastic consumption. Reusable bags, in general, are not without their downsides, however. In fact, a primary disadvantage for may reusable bag owners suggests a fundamental product flaw: many shoppers simply forget to bring their reusable bags along.
Though many people who purchase reusable bags have the best intentions in mind, it's easy to forget about the bags and remember only at the grocery store check-out. As a result, a fair number of shoppers eager to do their part to support waste reduction end up settling for the same old disposable plastic bags as returning home is rarely a viable option. Not all reusable bags are created equal, though, and companies like Ecozuri with a fresh take on reusable bag design are showing consumers that the product's most basic flaws can be eliminated with a bit of imagination.
Keeping bags in sight to aid the memory may not be the most attractive technique, but there are other ways to remind shoppers to take their bags with them before they venture out. Ecozuri's reminder kit (www.ecozuri.com), which is available as a free addition to any bag set order, includes innovative tools for ensuring reusable bags serve their purpose with every shopping trip. A sleeve able to be fitted over a car steering wheel, tote, or refrigerator handle subtly reminds users to grab a bag before they start their shopping, and engraved buckles allow for easy reminding with a key chain or other belonging. Ecozuri customers can also take advantage of an attractive jute bag perfect for hanging over pantry or kitchen doorknobs and for storing those few plastic bags that may still be needed for recycling or other tasks. Perfecting the reusable bag with great features like Ecozuri's reminder kit is sure to help more people put sensible shopping first.
