The Wilbourn Associates Environmental Award - Bag It Don't Bin It
Bag It Don't Bin It is a new eco-business that aims to help retailers to cut down on the 13 billion plastic bags that they give away each year, by offering customers branded, re-usable cotton or jute bags that are made from non-fossil sources and are also totally biodegradable. The company could play a major part in aiding leading UK retailers who have signed an agreement with the government to reduce the overall impact of their carrier bags by 25 per cent by the end of 2008 and cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 58,500 tonnes a year in the process.
