Did you know Plastic Carrier Bag's definition? - Now you know why you should use Reusable Bags and Recyclable Bags

Plastic is a petroleum product - it comes from oil. It is a by-product of oil and polyethylene in other words plastic bags are made of petrochemicals: a non-renewable resource.

For the most part, the whole process of making plastic bags requires only electricity : 50% of that electricity is generated from the burning of old tires and 50% by nuclear fission: a radioactive waste. Plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic pieces which can contaminate soil and waterways and  stay in the environment for hundreds of years.

This is why Future Bags offers a full range of the highest quality recycled bags, recyclable bags and reusable bags.

Plastic bags are a common type of shopping bag in several countries but many countries are also banning them because they are a hazard to the wildlife, they cause "white pollution" and consume non-renewable resource. Please visit our website for alternative to plastic bags. We are specialist in Printed Bags and actively promote the use Cotton Bags, Canvas Bags, Jute Bags, Non-Woven PP Bags and Woven PP Bags.

Keeping the Environment a priority by using Reusable Bags

Future Bags is in determinedly upbeat mood to keep the environment a priority.

Further to Gordon Brown's summit on 12th January about boosting employment - he insists that investing in eco-friendly projects could both create jobs now and engineer a lean, low carbon economy for the long term. "Rather than the recession pushing the environment into a lower order of priority, the environment is part of the solution".

Future Bags is an Eco-Friendly company which was created to provide alternative to plastic carrier bags and therefore made the environment its priority by offering 100% Reusable Bags, 100% Recyclable Bags, 100% Biodegradable Bags and 100% Recycled Bags.

A Bag That Last or a Lasting Bag...

Confused by the title? According to Waste Watch there are over 13 billion plastic carrier bags given out every year in the UK alone. These are plastic bags that don’t biodegrade and are difficult to recycle. As these bags are considered “disposable”, they tend to be used once before being thrown in with the rubbish. Many unwanted bags are simply left outside, where they can last for years. This can ruin the appearance of some places and destroy certain nature habitats.
To counter-act these ‘lasting’ disposable bags, many retailers and businesses are turning to bags that last in a different meaning. Cloth or canvas bags can last longer in terms of usefulness, yet biodegrade or recycle much easier than the plastic variety. 
People are also more inclined to re-use a material bag than a plastic bag, as they don’t look as cheap or tasteless; instead they give a stylish and chic feel to users. Customers also get a greater sense of satisfaction when they receive their goods in a higher quality container, as it suggests they got more for their money.

Why using Reusable Bags ?

People are still quering What is the big deal with plastic carrier bags?

Well, Plastic Particles in the ocean are TOXIC. Studies have shown that animals in the marine environment are ingesting them and a major research has establish that upon digestion, these plastics are transfering chemicals to the food chain. This is causing high concerns as the process of bio-accumulation has the potential to increase the concentration of persistent pollutants along the food chain.

We are also talking about the White Pollution, do you find it pretty all those plastic bags, caught in our fences along roads? NO, reports estimate that plastic bags can take over 1,000 years to degrade. However their degradation is still TOXIC.

Producer Responsability : Producing Recycled and Recyclable Bags

Future Bags' goal is to provide eco-friendly products and alternatives to plastic carrier bags which STILL fill our landscape. Our commitment to the environment also includes to recycle as much as we can (excess packaging, office's waste etc). Therefore we are working with Hills Waste Solutions Ltd to recycle its waste. As manufacturers we aim to reduce the proportion of packaging waste going to landfill so we asked our local waste management to come to us to collect our disposal.

Hills Waste Solutions Ltd are commited to the improvement of the management and operation of their core business activities which impact on the environment. Their environmental management system (EMS) allows them to manage operations in line with defined environmental policies, objectives and relevant legislation and procedures. All visible waste is inspected on arrival at one of our waste treatment facilities and, where appropriate, sent to one of our waste transfer stations where recyclables are separated. Material that is unsuitable for recycling is disposed of at landfill as a last resort.

Hills understands our commitment to environment and shares it. Environmentally issues are so important today, that we only produce 100% Resuable, 100% Recyclable, 100% Recycled and 100% Biodegradable Bags.

24th International Coastal Cleanup - Collecting all plastic debris included Plastic Bags

19th September 2009 - 24th International Coastal Cleanup:

The World's largest volunteer effort of its kind.

Plastic : The most important thing to understand is, there is no such thing as "away" when it comes to plastics. When people say "Oh just throw it away", where precisely is "away"? because most scientists now estimate that plastic carrier bags last for at least 1,000 years.

Did you know? The UK produces 2.8 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and this figure is rising by 2% each year! Plastic Bags account for over 10% of the plastic's debris found on beaches. Its estimated that 17 billion Plastic Bags are given away annually by UK Supermarkets - enough plastic bags to cover an aera size of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and west Yorkshire combined. Note : this estimate don't state all retraders only supermarkets! Many coastal cities have already said NO MORE plastic carrier bags. They are now using reusable and recyclable bags such as Cotton Bags.

Our bags will provide any company with an economical yet impressive solution to promote and advertise with maximum impact and quality. Making bags for a better world!

What is the difference between Non-Wowen PP Bags and Woven PP Bags?

Non-Woven is textile such as felt. Non-Woven materials are nowadays mainly produced from man-made fibres. Two synthetic polymers dominate the market : polypropylene (PP) and polyesters (PET).

Woven is a thermoplastic polymer. Woven is manufactured by the process of weaving (art of forming a fabric by interlacing at right angles two or more sets of yarn).

Both are economical material and are far better substitute for plastic carrier bag as they are much stronger and 100% environmentally friendly.

Non-Woven PP Bags and Woven PP Bags come in a number of styles, sizes and colours. They can be printed up to 4 colours (pantone or process).

Woven PP Bags are reverse printed onto a matt or gloss laminated which is then laminated to the Woven material, ideally suited for more complex printing and easy to wipe clean.

Non-Woven PP Bags look and feel like cloth but is actually soft textured PP which decomposes naturally and they're also liquid repellent!

'Banish Plastic Bags!' Campaign for a Cleaner Environment, FREE from Plastic Bags!

An astonishing 13 billion free single-use plastic bags are handed out by Britain's High Street stores every year. These bags - a by product of crude oil - are issued at the rate of more than 800 a year to every family in the UK. Typically they are used for only 20 minutes on average before being thrown away and if thrown in the environment they take more than 1,000 years to rot away!

They are now several organisations such as the Daily Mail and Marks and Spencers who have started 'Banish the Bags' campaigns in an effort to rid the country of these plastic single-use bags.

Two of Britains neighbours have shown how simple steps can bring a dramatic fall in the use of throwaway bags, in Ireland for example the Government introduced a bag tax in 2002, currently 16p, which led to an incredible 90% reduction since then.

A year ago France imposed a ban on free carriers. They now charge (after pressure from shoppers) between 2p and 42p for reusable bags. This has removed millions of free plastic bags from High Steets and the French government will impose an outright ban on free plastic bags in 2010.

Future Bags offers a whole range of environmentally friendly bags, please use 100% Reusable, 100% Recyclable, 100% Recycled and / or 100% Biodegradable bags.

Bag it in my cotton bag!!

Should you use Paper Bag* or Plastic Bag? well neither; go cotton!!

We need to move out of 20th century of waste and abuse - and create a new paradigm of Cotton Bag use.

Remember facts:

1) Over 100,000 birds and marine life die each year, due to an encounter with plastic debris, much of it plastic bags.

2) Its been estimated that the US was responsible for the felling of 14 million trees to produce 10 billion paper grocery bags before the 21st century.

So what's the solution? Reusable bags is the answer! Bags that you use more than once.

More and more Towns & Cities are looking to ban plastic bags and to become "Green".

Let's remember why - plastic bags were created in 1957 for sandwiches, in 1974 supermarkets switch to plastic shopping bags and 20 years later countries over the world are banning them.

The first town to ban plastic bags was Modbury in South Devon on May 1st 2007 and what do they use now ? Reusable, Recyclable and Recycled Bags because plastic bags can take 1,000 years to decompose.

Non-Solvent Water-Based Ink

Water-based inks: A revolutionary screen printing ink of high quality. This means it's also safer to use and more environmentally friendly.

1) All water-based inks are semi-transparent - by adding Opaque White to other colours, it will tone them down and add opacity.

2) Water-based inks are a good choice when a "soft hand" is desirable. A "soft hand" is the condition where the ink film cannot easily be felt with the hand when passed across the surface of the fabric.

3) Water-based inks also have the advantage of being an excellent ink system for high speed roll-to-roll yardage printing. Such printing is done on large sophisticated equipment that has very large drying capacity.

4) Non-solvent water-based inks do not contain any solvents.
