Rebag factory suggest that if you are not allowed to use plastic bags, there are several alternatives you can consider. One option is to use reusable shopping bags made from materials such as cloth or canvas. These bags can be used multiple times and are often more durable and environmentally friendly than disposable plastic bags. Another option is to use paper bags, which can be recycled after use. Some stores may also offer biodegradable or compostable bags made from plant-based materials. These bags can break down naturally in the environment and do not contribute to plastic pollution. Additionally, you can try to reduce your use of disposable bags by bringing your own containers or bags when shopping or carrying items. This can help reduce waste and protect the environment.
