FAQ

About Footprint Bag
Footprint Bag is designed to be hung on your supermarket trolley and holds multiple reusable bags in individual pouches. At the checkout point, just drop it open and grab your reusable bags as you need them. Easy!
When you get home, simply restow the bags and pop the bag pack away for next time. It stores neatly in the glove compartment, in a cupboard, or even in your handbag. No more mess in the car boot or under the kitchen sink and you can feel good that you are doing your bit for the environment.

Footprint Bag and the Environment
Footprint Bag is good news for the environment. Not only can the outer pack be recycled, the shopping bags are hi-tech ripstop material which will last indefinitely.  Less rubbish to landfill!  We try as much as possible to be green in our business. For example, our stationary is printed on FSC certified paper using vegetable oil based inks. We also pledge 1% of all website sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment.

Where are the Footprint Bags made?
We thought long and hard about where to have our shopping packs made. In the end, we decided to go with China. We know that this is a compromise because ideally we would love them to be made in the UK.  However to offset our carbon footprint, we donate 1% of website sales to Friends of the Earth. We have also made sure that our Chinese factory is ethical and complies to all accepted standards and the trade-off is that we know that the Footprint Shopping Bag will last indefinitely.

What are the bags made of?
They are 100% ripstop polyester which is incredibly strong, tear-proof and folds away to fit into a neat pouch. The outer pack is environmentally friendly recyclable polypropylene. We have tried very hard to make our bags both stylish and practical.  They are washable but most importantly, look fabulous in your trolley!!!

Can I wash my Footprint Bag?
Most of our shopping bags can be washed inside out on a cold cycle. Drip dry, do not tumble dry. However, always look at the product description and label.
