Most people think that when they use a canvas tote bag they are helping save the planet by reducing waste and use of plastic, but what they don't realize is that it would take 54 years of daily use before the user offsets the amount of energy and pollution it took to make a single tote bag. So yea... that 10+ tote bag collection you have is going to take AT LEAST 540 years to pay off.

Trash Bag Totes, on the other hand, uses recycled plastic to make our tote bags. Everytime you buy one of our bags, you prevent post-consumer plastic from entering landfills. Our supplier, Oceanworks, removes 100 tons of plastic from the ocean each year and turns that trash into different types of material, including the material for our bags.
