Canvas

• Canvas bags are the most common bags made with natural-fibres. 
• They might be made from traditional cotton, organic cotton or recycled cotton bags. 
• Traditional cotton is made from a renewable crop source, but requires chemicals and pesticides and consumes huge quantities of water. 
• We use 10oz / 300 gsm thickness grade for canvas bags
• To match the efficiency of using a plastic shopping bag just once, each cotton bag must be reused 131 times to compensate for its large carbon footprint/global warming potential. 
  

Advantages
