One small step for Rachelle Béry, one giant leap for practical environmental awareness! In an endeavour to create a fruit and vegetable shopping experience that is in line with our values, we have decided to remove plastic bags for produce from our stores. Say goodbye to plastic bags. It’s over!
Enjoy sorting your products and having the option of storing them together in a handy bag? Rachelle Béry’s reusable mesh bags are just what you’re after.
They are made using a material manufactured from recycled plastic bottles. The mesh is narrow enough to also use them for bulk items, provided they are not in powder form. Plus, they are safe for the washing machine and dishwasher and dry in just a few minutes! Handy, don’t you think? They’re so much more versatile than those small plastic bags that we’ve been using for years!
Some bulk facts:
- rPET, the material used to make our mesh bags, has a carbon footprint that is 50% smaller than organic cotton and 75% smaller than polyester.
- rPET production also uses 86% less water and 70% less energy than polyester production.
- Producing 1 kg of rPET recycles 60 water bottles, which would otherwise be discarded.
