Hemp Bags

What is an organic bag?

Compared to ordinary plastic or cotton shopping bags, organic bags are made in an environmentally friendly way from sustainable materials. The Sativa Bags brand uses a fabric mix of organic cotton with hemp. The ecological bag contributes to a better environment for this and future generations.

The best alternative to a standard bag is a sustainable hemp bag. The hemp plant naturally has little trouble with pests and weeds. It has a strong natural defense system against pests and grows so fast that weeds don't stand a chance. In addition, hemp has a purifying effect on soil and groundwater. A big advantage of hemp compared to organic cotton: it provides much more fiber per liter of water. The plant grows twice as fast as cotton, produces several harvests per year and feels at home in almost any climate. Hemp fiber fabric has been used for a long time. In the VOC era, canvas (fabric made of hemp fibres) was already widely used. The hemp fibers were also used to make rope and ship sails.

Why should you buy an ecological bag?

Although the consequences are major and far-reaching, pollution of the cotton industry has so far not been very visible. The usual consumer is often unaware of this, and the price tag, logo and print is often the only thing they look at. Fortunately, more and more people are becoming a lot more aware.

By buying an organic bag you already have a good alternative to cheap cotton. With those few euros more for an organic cotton bag you save the world in general and cotton farmers in particular a serious amount of fertilizer, soil additives and defoliants.

A bio bag in combination with hemp helps you even better to save the environment. Mixing organic cotton and hemp significantly reduces the ecological footprint of the organic bag. A lot less water is needed and the addition of hemp makes the fabric more durable, less prone to stains and antibacterial. This gives your environmentally friendly bag a longer lifespan and you don't have to buy a new bag as quickly.
