Bags

From holding keys to helping us shop without buying extra plastic, carrying a bag is a practice that helps both us and the planet. Where to get eco-friendly bags though? Our Better Planet, of course!

Q1. Won’t recycled plastic bags release microplastics in the atmosphere- how is that sustainable?

A1. While there is the potential in recycled plastic bags to release microplastics, they are still upcycling plastic waste and stopping it from entering landfills. It is not a perfect solution but it is a workable one. Happy shopping.

Q2. What makes Our Better Planet's tote bags eco friendly?

A2. Our Better Planet carries eco-friendly tote bags as most of our totes are made from fabric scraps and recycled materials. They are handmade as well, making them both eco-friendly and artisan-supporting.

Q3. Are the bags in this collection made from sustainable materials?

A3. The bags in this collection are made from sustainable and mostly upcycled materials such as upcycled salmon fish skins, and Pinatex. Thus, while one cannot call all items in this collection vegan, an argument could be made that is it sustainable as it helps reduce waste.

Q4. Are the bags in this collection durable and long-lasting?

A4. Sustainable products are meant to be durable and long lasting. Thus, we hope that as long as proper care if taken of these bags, they will last a long time, unlike conventional fast fashion bags which are made to cater to trends alone. Happy shopping.

Q5. Are the bags in this collection ethically produced?

A5. Yes. We at Our Better Planet hope to make sustainability as easy as ABC for the everyday consumer and thus have tried our best to ensure all the products in our sustainable bags collection are ones that have seen ethical production at every step of the production process. Happy shopping.
