Recyclable Shopping Bags

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Recyclable Shopping Bags

Recyclable shopping bags provide a practical retail and checkout option for businesses that need durable plastic carry bags while offering a recyclable packaging format. Insinc’s Ecopack range includes recyclable plastic shopping bags made at 70+ micron thickness, suitable for retail stores, markets, checkout counters and other commercial applications.

The range currently includes Medium and Large sizes, with pack and carton quantities available depending on business requirements.

Which Recyclable Shopping Bag Size Should You Choose?

The Medium recyclable checkout bag measures 37 x 42.5cm and suits general retail purchases and everyday checkout use. It is available in packs of 100 or bulk cartons of 500.

For larger or bulkier purchases, the Large option measures 47.5 x 47.5cm and is supplied in packs of 100.

Choose the bag size according to the dimensions and weight of the products being carried, leaving enough space for items to fit comfortably without overfilling the bag.

What Does Recyclable Mean?

These Ecopack shopping bags are listed as recyclable plastic bags with a thickness of 70+ micron. Recyclable plastic should not be confused with compostable or biodegradable packaging, as these materials follow different disposal pathways.

Actual recycling options can vary between waste providers and local collection systems, so businesses and customers should check whether this type of flexible plastic packaging is accepted through their available recycling programme.
