Planet friendly Eco Bags. Say NO to plastic.

In the marine environment plastic bag litter is lethal, killing at least 100,000 birds, whales, seals and turtles every year. After an animal is killed by plastic bags its body decomposes and the plastic is released back into the environment where it can kill again.

I turt204 n the UK alone, we use 150 million plastic bags per week, the majority of which end up on landfill sites or being burnt, which releases a plethora of toxic chemicals into the air.

Only 1 in every 200 bags is recycled and this requires energy and resources to collect and process the bags. A person’s use of a plastic checkout bag can be counted in minutes, however long it takes to get from the shop to the home, but plastic shopping bags can take between 15 and 1000 years to break down in the environment.

However, plastic bag pollution is a threat to our ecosystems that we can do something about.

If we could all make just a small change in our shopping habits - it would make a huge impact on the environment.

How can we avoid using plastic bags? Easy - get into the habit of taking an alternative shopping bag with you.

We have a great range of JUTE BAGS. These have the added advantage of being biodegradable.

The problem is actually remembering to take a bag with you. Well, now we’ve solved that problem!

We’re happy to introduce our funky new range of ONYA BAGS. They come in a fabulous range of styles and colours and all stow away neatly into a teeny pouch that hangs on your key ring. Now you need never be without a bag.

ONYA DUMP IT is a little pouch full of super-bio bags for when you’re out with the dog and he does what comes naturally! Another way of avoiding plastic.

And if that weren’t enough - now you can do without those nasty little plastic bags that you use when you buy your fresh veg in the supermarket.

ONYA WEIGH is a clever little pouch containing tulle bags.
Use these instead.

ANOTHER plastic bag avoided! Brilliant!
