Calico Bags for Sale: The Perfect Bags for Supermarkets and Retail Stores

July 16, 2018

The days of continual use of plastic bags by supermarkets and retail stores are coming to an end. While plastic is still the ‘ideal’ choice for packaging products today, and has been for well over 50 years, supermarkets and retail businesses throughout the world are making sincere efforts to curb the use of plastic shopping bags in their stores, for the sake of the environment.

More and more people are realising that nearly all plastic bags being used today are non-biodegradable, which means that these will take between 500 – 1000 years to sufficiently break down. Until then, plastics bags, as well as plastic garbage, will continue to accumulate in dumps, landfills, rivers, oceans, and everywhere in nature, posing a continual threat to wildlife.

The truth is that plastic bags cannot break down fast enough to save the environment and wildlife. So, what’s the answer to this problem? There are many solutions that can be applied to the problem of pollution, but in regards to plastic bags, the best place to start is by supermarkets and retail stores limiting their use of them.

Supermarkets and Retail Stores to Replace Plastic with Calico Bags

Lowinsacks is helping supermarkets and retail stores to replace plastic bags with the best environmentally responsible alternative – calico bags. Here at Lowinsacks, we now supply a range of calico bags for sale. Our quality calico bags are designed for use in supermarkets and retails stores, as the environmentally responsible alternative that will replace plastic shopping bag usage.

The ultimate goal is to replace plastic shopping bags, to prevent these from finding their way into landfills and waterways, which are overwhelming Australia’s environment and threatening wildlife and their habitats. It is estimated that individual retailers and supermarkets give away up to 30,000 plastic shopping bags per year, with large supermarket chains giving away close to 300 million plastic bags each year!

In an effort to reduce the use of plastic shopping bags, some governments are considering placing a levy on them, which would increase the cost retailers and supermarkets pay for each bag (roughly 4-6 cents for each plastic bag). Offering calico bags to supermarkets and retailers presents an opportunity to reduce their operating costs, while at the same time reducing the use of plastic shopping bags and creating an alternative revenue stream.

Other benefits of using calico bags include the following:

• Store branding and promotional opportunities
• Resealable shopping bags
• Alternative revenue stream
• Stronger than plastic shopping bags
• Breathable packaging ideal for carrying produce
• Washable and durable

When considering all of these benefits, it becomes obvious that calico Bags are the perfect bags for supermarkets and retail stores.
