Learn how to use your mesh eco-bags in a variety of ways to promote a one-stop-shop for low waste living!
Benefits of Using a Mesh Eco Bag for Low Waste Living
By definition, low waste living operates under the goal of reducing your total amount of material that goes to waste.
You can live a low waste lifestyle by reducing your overall intake of materials, or incorporating recycling methods to encourage “repurposing” practices.
Pokoloko Eco Bags are certified organic reusable shopping totes. They replace the wasteful plastic used to bundle produce with an Earth-conscious, plastic-free alternative that is 100% organic.
The environmental benefits of using a mesh eco bag are innumerable.
But what’s really great about the use of these plastic substitutes is how their multifunctionality promotes low waste living.
There are many Pinterest boards out there suggesting how to repurpose a tote.
But what if you just want to make the most out of your anti-plastic alternative in between grocery shops?
We’re here to help you make the most of your organic bags without altering a single thread.
To help you in your transition to a low waste lifestyle, here are 4 ways to use your mesh eco bag that aren’t for vegetables!
Low Waste Living Tip #1: Use for Storage
The high-quality craftsmanship of our earth-friendly mesh bags makes them great for storing just about anything inside.
Whether it be running shoes for the gym or your wet bathing suit after a day at the beach, your bags are made to last!
What happens at the beach, should stay at the beach…
Our mesh eco-bags also repel sand, meaning you don’t have to bring your day at the beach back home with you!
Low Waste Living Tip #2: Use as a Travel Companion
These compact, reusable totes are also travel-friendly! The fibrous integrity of organic cotton allows the material enough flexibility to fold away for easy storage without taking up much space. Yet because of their expansive size, your eco bags can carry a generous amount within.
So after you’ve unpacked your last grocery, feel free to get some use out of your eco bag rather than having it sit around for 2 weeks waiting for your next grocery shop.
Low Waste Living Tip #3: Use as a DishRag
Organic and chemical-free mesh bags are perfect replacements for dish rags! The washability of the cotton fibres, and it's easy-care, allow you to use the meshing for your dishes before safely washing the material and repurposing it for your produce.
Talk about checking off your list of at-home to do’s! This low waste living tip feels like the type of thing even your grandparents would approve of.
Low Waste Living Tip #4: Washing Bags for your Delicates
The durability of high-grade cotton allows the fabric to be laundered quite frequently without stressing the material. Of course, the same cannot always be said of our delicates!
Give your next load of laundry a sense of security by placing your most gentle delicates inside the mesh bag before running it through the wash. Low waste living is achieved through every effort, so why not invest in a fairly traded material perfect for grocery shopping and household chores?
