As mentioned above, the biggest advantage to eco carrier bags are the fact they reduce waste and improve global plastic pollution. A plastic bag is not biodegradable, meaning when it’s thrown away, it’s not going to vanish just like that and will be photo-degradable. Resulting in too much toxic waste! Therefore, it’s important to reuse your bags, and that’s where eco carrier bags come in. Moving on to that…
