PP Nonwoven Poly

You are going to commit to using reusable shopping bags. Good for you! Make sure you choose a reusable shopping bag that suits your individual needs. The more you like your bags, the more you will remember to use them!


But how do you choose a reusable shopping bag that is right for you? It depends on material preferences, price, handles, and other features.

Material Preference

Material Preference: There are many material options for reusable bags: nonwoven polypropylene, cotton, laminated materials, polyester, or nylon, recycled PET, or natural (jute/bamboo/hemp).

 
 

 

 

PP Nonwoven Poly

PP nonwoven poly is a popular material for inexpensive bags. These bags are strong, mighty, and lay flat for storage. They are vibrant and colorful, and often available with four-color process printing.

Cotton

Organic cotton is more expensive, but better for the environment since pesticides are not used when farming it. Recycled cotton is another good option.

 
 

 

 

Laminated Shopping Bags

Laminated bags produce from laminated woven polypropylene, laminated nonwoven polypropylene, or laminated recycled PET. They are waterproof, durable, and strong.

Recycled PET

Recycled PET is another popular material option for reusable bags. It forms from post-consumer recycled plastics (#1 recyclables), which include soda and water bottles.

 
 

 

 

Natural

Jute, bamboos, or hemp reusable bags can be difficult to find and are more expensive than other bag options. However, they are one of the most eco-bags.

Price

It is important to think about your budget before you start looking at bags. Like all other products, you get what you pay for, and a more expensive bag is going to be better quality.

Here are some guidelines on pricing for grocery style bags:

  • Least Expensive ($1-$2 per bag): primarily nonwoven polypropylene bags, and a few exceptions for small, nylon bags.
  • Mid Price Range ($2-$4 per bag): laminated bags, poly/nylon bags, cotton.
  • Most Expensive ($4+ per bag): Primarily organic cotton, recycled cotton, hemp, and jute.

Handles and Other Features

Some bags fold, some zip, some snap, some are small, and some are large. Here are a few more considerations when choosing your reusable bags: handle length, gusset size, fold up bags, bag color, imprinting, insulation.
