Packaging affects the environment...
In an age where packaging is often shown to be a major cause of waste and pollution, Carrier Bag Shop has taken it upon itself to become an innovator in providing environmentally friendly packaging. When you buy packaging from us, you can rest assured in the knowledge that we try our best to work with the environment.
Our "Bags To Trees" campaign...

We make no bones about preferring paper packaging and bags over plastic bags. As well as the pollution caused in the extrusion of plastic film, it is a non bio-degradable substance. In sourcing the best quality paper products at the best prices however, we cannot guarantee that the paper is 100% recycled. As such we have set up our Bags to Trees initiative whereby the more paper bags we sell, the more money we will donate to selected tree foundations to help plant trees to replace the ones that have been used in the manufacture of the bags! We like to call it being environmentally friendly retrospectively.

Look through our online shop and be sure to check out all products with the Tree Aid and Tree Council graphic next to them. For every £100 spent on these products, we will donate £1 to the Tree Council and Tree Aid.

We work with the Tree Council The Tree Council - Working Together For Trees

The Tree Council promotes the planting and conservation of trees in town and countryside. The lead UK tree campaigning partnership, it is an umbrella body for 150 organisations working together for trees. It is also a forum for tackling issues relating to trees and woods.

The Tree Council depends principally on donations, legacies and sponsorship. To find out more visit www.treecouncil.org.uk.

"Our goal is to make trees matter to everyone, as well as to get more trees, of the right kind and in the right places. We are therefore very grateful to Carrier Bag Shop for supporting our work. We want to help more people appreciate the many values of trees - and one of these is as a sustainable source of raw material for packaging."
Pauline Buchanan-Black, Director General, The Tree Council

We work with Tree Aid TREE AID - Supporting the Planting of trees in Africa

In rural Africa, trees feed, house, provide energy and improve the environment for millions of families. But rapid deforestation in the drylands of Africa is depriving people of these essential resources.
TREE AID works village by village to support communities to meet their basic needs and secure vital income from trees. We do this through training for and funding of community forestry projects.

"Tree Aid are very happy to receive the donations of Carrier Bag Shop. Together we can make a difference to the lives of many villages in rural Africa, helping to develop self reliant communities."
Miranda Spitteler, Chief Executive, Tree Aid

The Materials Matter...

When you buy from Carrier Bag Shop, you can rest assured that the products you buy, to the best of our knowledge, do or are the following:

  • All paper products have a certain amount of recycled content. If not, then the virgin paper used comes from sustainable sources where at least one tree is planted for every tree chopped down.
  • All inks used on our paper bags are water based. We would insist the same on plastic but it just wouldn't print!
  • Glues and other chemicals are all environmentally friendly (i.e. starch based)
Spread the "Bags to Trees" message.

For all our customers ordering printed packaging, we also have a special logo as you can see on the right hand side. Carrier Bag Shop will add £5.00 to our charity pot for distribution to our charities. This offer is extended to plastic as well as paper bags.

Thank you for supporting Carrier Bag Shop, Tree Aid and The Tree Council.
