WHY

Did You Know?

Conal Cunningham - Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Why reuse bags? You really need to ask? O.k. Here’s the answer… because we use around 13 billion plastic bags in this country alone every year. These take up to 1,000 years to degrade and landfill sites are running out of space!

 *Plastic bags cause over 100,000 sea turtle and other marine animal deaths every year when animals mistake them for food.

 *The manufacture of plastic bags add tonnes of carbon emissions into the air annually.

 *Between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide each year.

 *Approximately 60 to 100 million barrels of oil are required to make the world’s plastic bags every year. China uses 3 billion plastic bags every day !

 *Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photodegrade – breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits, contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food chain when animals accidentally ingest them.

 *plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most often found in coastal cleanups, according to the nonprofit centre for Marine conservation.

 *Plastic bags in drains were identified as major factors in the severe flooding in Bangladesh in 1998 and 1998.

 Next time you go shopping, take a BAGGEE and hold your head up high as you reuse your bags. O.k. so you’re not tying yourself to a tree about to be cut down in the Rainforest, but be proud! – You’re still doing your bit for the environment!

Why The DOGGEE

Ian Potts - Monday, September 28, 2009

For the dog lovers out there, we’ve designed the DOGGEE. How many times have you taken ‘Fido’ for walkies with your pockets bulging with dog poo bags or worse still – no bags at all?! As long as you have your keys on you, you’ll always have bags.

The DOGGEE is a flexible , hollow ball on a keychain that can accommodate 20-30 dog refuse bags. The spring lever keyring can also attach to ‘Fido’s’ lead and comes in six exciting colours to coordinate with your outfit, your car or possibly even ‘Fido’! (Have you been to Cannes lately?)

P.S. We are not advocating that you reuse your dog waste bags…that’s taking it a bit too far!

Why The BAGGEE

Ian Potts - Monday, September 28, 2009

At last a solution for all those times you’ve arrived at the checkout only to discover you’ve forgotten your bags!

The BAGGEE is a flexible, hollow ball on a keychain which can accommodate several of those pesky plastic bags that usually lurk in your drawers and cupboards or under the kitchen sink, but are never with you when you actually need them!

The BAGGEE comes in six ‘on trend’ colours so you can coordinate them with your clothes, your car or possibly even your eyes! With a practical spring lever keyring (no more broken nails ladies!) and colours to suit the most ‘girly’ girl and the most ‘macho’ male, we think you’ll be proud to carry a BAGGEE!



We use around 13 billion plastic bags in the U.K. alone, every year, so it makes sense to reuse them as much as we can. Okay, so you’re not tying yourself to a tree in the rainforest but you’re still doing your bit for the environment. So hold your head high…be proud to be BAGGEE!

P.S. Did we mention that the BAGGEE is recyclable and made in the U.K.?
