Reusable Bags

For Shopping . For Storing . For Life

The A Slice of Green reusable bags are made from 100% cotton stitched with polycotton for strength and durability. The cotton is either Organic (GOTS certified) or Recycled (GRS certified).

Organic Cotton is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres. This means the entire textile supply chain is independently certificated including both ecological and social criteria.

Recycled Cotton is re-purposed, post-industrial or post-consumer cotton that would otherwise be sent straight to landfill. Using recycled material is key to the circular economy. Scraps of fabrics discarded during the manufacturing process are collected and turned back into fibres ready to be reused in the production of new products. Since the recycling process weakens the cotton, it is necessary to use other fibres for strength. A Slice of Green recycled cotton contains 80% recycled fibre and 20% virgin cotton.

For the mesh bags the fabric is woven to the actual size of the bag (as it cannot be cut easily) which also means there is no wastage.

The bags have a branded label with tare weight, certification details and A Slice of Green branding. Our bags are designed to last indefinitely, but at the end of useful life they can be recycled as textiles.

Our manufacturer is a family business that makes the bags in their own sewing unit in Tamil Nadu, India. We visited the unit in 2018 and were impressed by the high standards.

We also sell a natural organic cotton baggie and wrap which are made for us by Keep Leaf in India. You can find out more about Keep Leaf here.
