Jute: the thinking person's carrier bag
It's official, plastic bags are the baddies of the bag
world. Our jute bags are available to buy at a credit
crunching price of just 50p. They're bigger
and stronger than carriers, last longer and are kind to
the environment. Don't forget the Welsh Government has imposed a 5p
carrier bag charge.
Buy yours from:
- Barry Civic Offices, Holton Road
- Albert Road Methodist Church, Penarth
- Alps Office, Wenvoe
Let us know, as the Methodist Church did, if you are willing to
stock bags too.
What is jute?
A product mainly made from plant materials. It is a
natural fibre that is a non pollutant and totally
biodegradable.
Are you plastic bag aware?
Consider ditching unnecessary plastic bags to
help the environment and reduce the amount of waste generated which
is sent to landfill. All plastic bags used as part of the kerbside
service are recycled, please continue to re-use them. You
can put recycling loose in recycling boxes and can have up
to three boxes per home.
Remember, plastic bags:
- cause pollution
- use natural resources, such as oil
- harm wildlife
- wash up on our beautiful coastline
- take around 500 years to degrade
