Upcycle Chip Packet Stationary Bag from Reclaimed Snack Wrappers

Description A funky conversation starter stationary bag, with sustainability in mind! It is made of non-recyclable single-use snack wrappers, such as chip packets, chocolate wrappers, and other snack packaging. This type of packaging is a very big environmental problem – because it is so prevalent, in such wide scale use, and neither recyclable nor biodegradable, thereby accumulating in dumps, streets, fields, rivers, beaches and the oceans. Reusing it for the sake of keeping it out of landfill and out of the natural environment is currently the best way to deal with this waste. By making useful, practical and durable items with it, it also saves resources that would otherwise have gone into making new materials for pencil bags. The pencil bag is waterproof with a zipper. Simply wipe down with soapy damp cloth to clean. It is strong, of high-quality workmanship and made to last. Note the colours and motives are completely random, being made from waste there is little standardisation of colours and each item is unique. Please specify in the order notes if you want a specific look, and we’ll try to match it if it’s available, but no guarantees. Otherwise, we’ll find something special for you based on what is available. Made in SA: Proudly handmade in South Africa by the Upcycle team, in an effort to divert corporate waste from landfill and transform it into beautiful and useful products, thereby creating opportunities for local microentrepreneurs and self-starters. Size and other specifications: Being handmade, size may vary slightly. Being made from reclaimed waste, colours and motives may differ vastly from pictures, as no two items are the same, every item is unique. Materials: Reclaimed waste snack wrappers, with clear reclaimed plastic cover and liner Packaging: Biodegradable kraft label
