Four reasons why using calico bags is an eco-friendly way to promote your business
At a time when everyone is trying to do their bit for the environment, personalised calico bags can offer an eco-friendly way of promoting your business or event. Here are some of the ways in which these bags can help the environment.
Non-plastic
Firstly, calico bags are made from natural and sustainable materials. Plastic bags can be as polluting to make as they are to dispose of after use, so a sustainable alternative is much kinder to the environment. Calico bags are made from a non-toxic type of cotton and are much less polluting in their manufacture. By using these bags, your business name will be associated with a much more eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic.
Reusable
Secondly, calico bags can be used over and over again. Unlike single-use plastic bags that are such a menace to the land and sea, calico bags are designed to be durable enough to last for a long time. They can carry a lot of weight and are less likely to tear or suffer other forms of damage. They can also be washed out in case anything is spilled inside them. They therefore cut down on the waste caused by other bags and, of course, will be advertising your business for the whole of their lifetime.
Recyclable
Even when they do wear out, calico bags do not have to be thrown out. There are numerous other uses to which they can be put. They can be used as planters or flower pot holders and can be converted into pet beds, rugs or pillowcases. The uses for old calico bags are only limited by the imagination of your customers. This will keep them out of a landfill and will keep your business logo on display.
Biodegradable
Finally, calico bags are fully biodegradable. This is a huge advantage over plastic bags, which will remain in the environment and cause problems for many years, often lingering in the seas or releasing toxins into the soil. Calico bags will break down fully and return their materials to the environment from which they came. They are suitable for putting in a compost bin and can then be used to enrich your garden.
Everyone knows about the dangers of single-use plastic. Make sure you use eco-friendly alternatives to advertise your business to provide a positive impression. Calico bags are ideal for this purpose, so just talk to a supplier today to find out how they can help your promotional campaign.
