The reSACKEL bags

I think the reSACKEL bags are an excellent idea for saving the environment. No chemicals were added to the bags and it did not need to go through any industrial processes. All that was needed to make the bag was to wash the fabric lightly and there you have it! The reSACKEL Bag!!!!! The original wordings and design of the fabric were not removed, therefore giving it a unique design for each and every one of them. It is very environmentally friendly as it lacks processing. The reSACKLE bags are currently being spread around the world slowly.

One of the reasons old fabrics were used was because new fabrics take further resources and energy to manufacture. Although cotton fabrics are environmentally friendly, they still take up land, labour, water and energy to make it. Yet, this does not help anything to reduce the number of thousands of plastic bags disposed a day. Did you know that an old fabric sack has enough plastic to make 20 or more disposable plastic bags??? So why use new fabric bags when the old ones are just as good or maybe even better? Furthermore, the sacks are tough and could last a long time even under alot of weight. It is also very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp cloth and most of the grime and dirt and gone!

However, the sad thing is although such methods of using less plastic bags existed, the amount of plastic bags disposed a year are still reaching as high as 8 BILLION bags !!!! So let's do our part and start using these reSACKLE bags right now!
