Sustainability

Sustainability
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 380 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year. Of those, approximately 100 billion are plastic shopping bags, which cost retailers about $4 billion annually. Experts estimate that 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed and discarded annually worldwideŃmore than a million per minute!

Plastic bags that get buried in landfills may take up to 1,000 years to break down, and in the process they separate into smaller and smaller toxic particles that contaminate soil and water. Furthermore, the production of plastic bags consume millions of gallons of oil that could be used for fuel and heating.

With a high-quality reusable shopping bag like the Built Market Tote, you'll be doing your part to prevent unnecessary waste and pollution.
