pouch commented on a story: Recycle for London fight 37m plastic bag habit
I am interested in environmental issues, in particular recycling. Three years ago I set up Pouch. At Pouch we make unique accessories and homewares from vintage and recycled material. Our range includes not only bags, but belts, peg bags and bag dispensers too. Due to the fact we use vintage fabric, many of our items are one-offs and the vast majority are limited edition. Our products are robust, practical and very stylish. Individually hand crafted and skillfully sewn to a high standard, you can be assured our handmade products have not been mass produced and nobody was exploited in making them. Our ethos is to promote low impact, environmentally friendly, local production.

I think reusuable bags are the best way to carry shopping home and lets hope consumer pressure will make retailers make them a less attractive option by charging for carrier bags asap. They have had a 'plastic-bag tax' in Ireland for years and it has cut plastic bag use by 90%
Posted: 20 March 2008 11:50amAlso, major retailers need to be doing alot more about other types of plastic packaging found in shops. Why does fruit and veg have to be so over-packaged? Why aren't more retailers using biodegradable and fully compostable corn-starch plastic or compressed cardboard trays for holding fruit and other products?
I don't see how we can keep putting more and more plastic into landfill, this issue needs to be addressed now, all the retailers are so slow to implement anything.
