Reusable Bags go to York Market

November 10th, 2009

FootprintBag was on the road recently when we took a stall at the renown Newgate Market in York on Friday 6th November 2009.

Footprint Reusable Bags go to York Market

Footprint Reusable Bags go to York Market

The market has been trading in its current location since 1955 however York was thought to have a market since the middle ages! It was certainly lovely to be surrounded by so much history.

Despite a miserable week weatherwise, the gods were kind to us and the morning was bright. The day passed without a hitch (apart from Hanny’s police bike escort back from the carpark – she blames dodgy sat nav, I blame lack of direction!)

As always, our bag packs generated a lot of interest and people really liked the concept. One small pack and a trolley coin – all you need for a supermarket shop.

It was nice to be able to meet our customers face to face and demonstrate the strength and compact size of the footprint bags.
The individual bags looked super cute and judging by the sales, there will be a lot more footprint bags on outings in York from now on!!

Reusable shopping bag … a practical alternative

July 9th, 2009

A number of people have adopted the Cloth Bag as a fashion accessory, and potentially to take the higher ground on helping to save the planet. Whatever reason, each person adopting a non-plastic bag is doing their bit to reduce waste and pollution.

The problem is that a lot of the so-called Eco Bags are not designed to last, wear out, tear or do not have a large carrying capacity, and cannot be folded away easily. Have you tried going to the supermarket and putting your shopping into 6-8 Eco Bags? Eco Bags are currently succeeding in the casual shop market, where one bag is sufficient to carry ad-hoc purchases.

Some manufacturers have come up with large container-type bags that take up half of the trolley, but these are not quite suited to those shoppers that don’t go to the gym and pump iron. So we have opposite ends of the spectrum, single Eco Bags that are not suitable for bulk shopping, and large reusable bags that need careful handling when full.

The plastic bag issue cannot be ignored, we see discarded bags in the streets, on landfill, but also in the sea, just go on a cruise in the Med and see the waste floating about!   So, we at FootPrint Bag do believe action to eradicate the plastic bag should be taken as there are now real alternatives. Reusable bags can by stylish, robust, practical and multiuse, so let’s hear it for the reusable bag … it’s now evolved.

Join us to help the environment

July 9th, 2009

We are looking for people, companies and organisations who have an interest in reducing the impact on the environment.

We at FootPrint Bag started with a simple goal, to eradicate the use of plastic bags.  Replacing them with reusable bags that could be used for the weekly shop, but also for other tasks is now gaining traction. There is a growing interest in replacing plastic bags and some countries have already banned them, or at least controlled their composition.

If you have energy saving advice, tips, products or services that can help reduce emmissions, waste or polution, then we would like to hear from you.
