Description for Green Bag - Santa Sack:

This bag is made from non-woven polypropylene (NWPP), a material that is strong, flexible, washable, available in a wide variety of colours and is completely recyclable (usually into car dashboards). It is petrochemical based, but sits towards the bottom of the Greenpeace pyramid of plastics, alongside PET (lemonade bottles) and just above starch based biodegradable plastics.

It is not biodegradable but then the whole point is that you carry on using it. With a capcity of 22 litre the bag replaces 3 to 4 thin supermarket carriers and should last for 2 years. Its block bottom base measures 20cm by 27cm and comes complete with a stiff insert. The height of the bag is 31cm and the handles stand 18cm above.

The message on this bag reads: Black Bag Green Intentions on one side and Bury treasure - not bags on the other.
