Printed recycling bags provide an ideal way for waste management teams & local authorities to raise awareness and boost recycling rates. Commonly used by local authorities and waste management teams, they are also being used by universities looking to encourage students to recycle.
Printed reusable recycling bags are a low-cost, space-saving alternative to recycling bins, making them popular with local authorities and waste management services. The bag also provides a blank canvas to custom-print details of local recycling initiatives and practical information on how to recycle waste, encouraging awareness and boosting recycling rates.
These heavy-duty bags are made from Laminated Woven PP - a sustainable, tough material that is also available as standard WPP or 70% recycled WPP. These durable, super-strong bags can be used for collecting all kinds of household waste, including glass bottles, tin cans, paper, plastic or garden waste.
And they aren't just used for household recycling. They also make it easy for schools, businesses, charities and the public sector to meet the targets of the Simpler Recycling initiative.

Kerbside Bags - Not Just For Councils & Waste Management Companies!
Most households are familiar with the branded recycling bags being used by local authorities to collect household recycling. But schools, colleges and universities also recognise the benefits.
Birmingham University used Printed Recycling Bags to encourage students to recycle. They created the GREG campaign and placed printed recycling bags in student accommodation to make it easy for students to recycle waste glass, paper, tins and cardboard.
By adding their social media details with a QR code, students can engage with the campaign online and show off their recycling efforts with photos and the recycling team can relay information. Read more by clicking on the link below.
Reusable recycling bags are an environmentally-friendly choice. We all need to reduce, reuse and recycle, and these bags will help to make that just
a little bit easier.
