Fruit Waste Shopping Bags

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

Plastic and paper shopping bags are the norm but have become an environmental issue given their single-use design, so the 'Sonnet155' reusable tote bags have been created as an alternative that are functional, fashionable and eco-friendly.

The bags are made entirely using biodegradable materials including cellulosic production waste sourced from the textile industry along with pectin. This enables the bags to make use of materials that would otherwise go to waste to give them new purpose as an essential everyday accessory.

The 'Sonnet155' reusable tote bags are the design work of Johanna Hehemeyer-Cürten and Lobke Beckfeld, and are capable of providing dependable use dat after day. When ready to be discarded, the bags can be recycled and put back into the soil.
