Want to share some knowledge of eco products. Or have you heard about any new eco projects that you want to share with the world?

I WAS DELIGHTED TO FIND YOUR WEBSITE, WITH LOTS OF OF VERY INTERESTING FACTS AND INFORMATION. I FULLY SUPPORT YOUR CAMPAIGN, ITS ABOUT TIME..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :cheers:
I LIKED THE LOOK OF YOUR BAGS THEY WOULD BE RATHER EXPENSIVE FOR MY CUSTOMERS THOUGH, ALSO I WANTED TO HAVE OUR SHOP LOGO ON IT. COULD YOU POSSIBLY ADVICE ME WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST SUITABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL TO USE AND A GOOD SUPPLIER?

Hi Glen
:welcomeish:

In my limited experience, the cost of such printed bags is determined by the number that you want to print... obviously the more you have done, the cheaper each one is. Organic cotton, hemp, jute... and other materials can be used...

A local shop here encourages people to bring their own bags with them... whether it's a reused carrier bag, or a cloth bag... they even have local people making them for sale in the shop.

I'm sure someone will have more information for you.

Whereabouts are you based??

I got quite alot last year as me and the wife printed our own design on them and tried to sell them at festivals to promote re-useable bags, we get ours from germany 30p each but if you could buy in bulk you would get alot cheeper they are not the best quality but cheep we bought them from shops like supermarkets.
