We're here again for another post ! Today, we are going to post about our impressions and opinions of reSACKel shopping bags .
In our opinions, we think that th reSackel bag is very useful .It us user-friendly,eco-friendly and environmentally-friendly ! by using reSackel bags, we can decrease the use of plastic bags . Plastic bags is a non-biodegradable material, which cannot be decomposed and if we burn them, poisonous gas will be given out, which will pollute and poison the air . i doubt nobody wants that to happen right ?
ReSackel bags are bags that is made from old used sacks and convert them into colourful new shopping bags . they can be AS GOOD AS NEW ! their slogan is based on thier products ; "One Bag-three times as friendly"
According to th website http://www.resackel.com/process , the process does not use chemicals or industrial process to make a ReSackel bag , which is a good thing . They also said that NO plastic is shredded, broken down or made into pellets before being turned into another product.THIS BAG IS REALLY FRIENDLY ! ;D
& According to the website http://www.resackel.com/dontuse , they advised us not to fabric bags of some kind :- Cotton, Jute, plastic - woven, non woven there is an endless choice, but they all use new fabric. Fabric that takes further resources and energy to manufacture.
- Organic cotton may be grown in a friendly way, but it still takes land, labour, water and energy to weave, dye etc. and that’s just to make the fabric.
- None of these bags do anything to reduce the thousands of sacks thrown away everyday.
- There is enough plastic in an old 25 KG sack to make 20 or more disposable plastic bags.
- So why use new fabric to solve the problem when there are so many sacks going to waste?
WE agree with them . Why use new fabric to solve the problem when there are lots of old sacks that going to waste ? so, WE advised all shoppers to use ReSackel bags .
I think that The reSACKeling process is one of the best solutions to the problem of disposable plastic bags, not only does it reduce the need for disposable plastic bags, but for every reSACKel bag you buy, you save an old sack !
By buying a reSACKel shopping bag means you are helping the environment in 3 ways:
- reducing your future need for disposable plastic bags
- the fabric of your bag is 100% reused plastic sacking*. For every reSACKel bag you buy you save one old sack and all the resources it took to manufacture it in the first place**. Why use new fabric bags when you can reSACKel?
- the reSACKeling process is simple, clean and efficient- so not only are you saving the resources it took to make the sack, but you are doing it in a way that does not require heavy industrial recycling processes.
* We do use new nylon thread to stitch the bags, this guarantees the bag remains strong. The tags and the labels are also made out of unbleached paper sourced from a paper mill using managed forests.
** For one standard reSACKel shopper, we use 97% of the fabric from a 25KG sack
WOW ! the ReSackle bag really impresses us ! WE really wanted to save th environment and Earth from pollution of non-biodegradable materials !
Their reasons for making ReSackel bags are stated at their website , http://www.resackel.com/whyoldsack ,
- Constantly changing - The great thing about working with old sacks is you don’t need in house designers dreaming up cool new designs, these are all originals. We continue to source sacks from a variety of suppliers, so the collection is constantly changing.
- Exclusive – There are only so many sacks of one design or pattern we can source at any one time, therefore the numbers are going to be limited, unlike new fabric bags where they are mass produced by the hundred thousand.
- Collectable – With so many changing designs, you can make sure you have you favourites with you at all times.
- Tough - The sacking fabric is designed to carry loads of 25KG and 50KG, depending on the size of the sack, the fabric is incredibly strong and also designed not to tear, so even if you put a hole in your bag, it is not going to get any larger thanks to the woven nature of the fabric.
- Wipe clean - plastic sacking is easily cleaned, simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove the majority of dirt and grime. Unlike many cloth bag alternatives, you don’t need to worry about spills or grime ruining your bag.
We think that all their reasons are resonable .
So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ? buy the bad NOW and save the Earth for OUR FUTURE ! Do your part and save the EARTH ! ;D
