Oct 29, 2019 /prREACH/ -- According to studies, more environmentally responsible consumers are now using reusable washable grocery bags in an effort to eliminate single-use plastic from the planet. Pomatree, a renowned producer of reusable shopping bags, reports a growth in positive recommendations by Amazon shoppers, with an increasing presence in households nationwide. The brand's heavy-duty tote bags can be used for shopping, traveling or home storage, and with dimensions of 14 x 10 x 11 inches, can carry over 35 pounds. Each set consists of three bags and is available on Amazon.
Experts say that plastic bags do not decompose easily and, as a result, contribute to the degradation of the environment. A plastic bag can take from 15 to 1,000 years to break down, depending on the environment. Moreover, the cost to recycle plastic bags outweighs their value, which is another reason why most plastic bags find their way into landfills. This results in huge piles of garbage that can be seen for miles, releasing a foul odor throughout the day.
“You can make a big impact by switching to reusable bags. It is estimated that about 500 single-use plastic bags are replaced by using one reusable bag over the course of one year. If someone shops for 70 years, he or she will save 350,000 single-use plastic bags in his or her lifetime,” said a spokesperson from Pomatree.
The company says its reusable grocery bag foldable for storage is made using non-woven polypropylene that can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth. With sturdy cardboard placed in the bag’s walls, the sides remain upright. The extended handles measure 12 inches above the top of the bag and are reinforced with strong metal grommets.
“I bought these because the state of Connecticut banned disposable grocery bags. Grocery stores and restaurants with take-out now charge bag fees. These seem to work nicely and are easy to carry and store when not in use. They fold flat and are well built,” a satisfied user mentions in his Amazon review.
