Plastic no longer trendy!

by Sally Moore

Plastic Bags can take 1,000 years to decompose

The change to "bags for life" began in 2007 when a few traders in Devon refused to give out

plastic bags. Their revolution has gone from strength to strength with many retailers no longer 

supplying plastic bags. Bags for life have come a long way and now for many it is not OK to walk

out of a supermarket with 10 carrier bags full of groceries, but rather to take along two or three

strong eco bags and re-use, re-use, re-use.

If you are looking for a personalised bag, have a look at www.doodle-bag.com and print your

own design.

Trade Shows

by Sally Moore

19
Feb

The sales team at Bag It Don't Bin It have just been showing at both The Spring Fair in Birmingham and Pure in London. Both were amazing shows and so well attended. Existing clients and new alike loved the new designer range by Maude and Tilda, designed by  Nicole Lochers, people laughed outloud as they walked passed and read her cheeky slogans! 

 

The Jubilee Range which was designed by our very own director, Julia also attracted much interest and the orders came in thick and fast.  Everyone loved the "I Love Liz" Badge and free bunting! If you haven't seen these new ranges yet get in touch and ask for the Buyers Guides.

For all those people who stopped by to see us a big, big thank you and we will be in touch soon.

By trading with Fairtrade registered companies you are halping to give back to some of the poorest communities. 

Recently, one of our cotton suppliers conducted a free eye camp within the local village. 658 people were seen and 70 eye operations were conducted. 561 received glasses. 

Without your support these camps would not be possible.

Please select Fairtrade where you can and do your bit for the people.
