Use this unique recycled fabric shopper tote bag to do the big shop, keep all your gym stuff in or pop your toy poodle in when running errands and know that your tote is doing good!
Made by Social Enterprise Trashy Bags Africa this tote bag is made from over 25 used plastic water sachets which is the single largest source of drinking water in Ghana. Cheap to produce, the waste unfortunately presents an enormous challenge considering the lack of recycling initiatives in the country.
The fabric on the outer is traditional African wax fabric and is all off cuts sourced from seamstresses in the local markets, which would normally either be burnt or end up in landfill. As such each bag is unique and the outer print you receive may vary from the image shown.
Each month, Trashy Bags Africa collect over 200,000 plastic water sachets that are cleaned and upcycled by their team to create fashionable, iconic, and useable products.
