Recyclable Dry Cleaning Bags

By on November 18, 2008 in Ideas


Springwise:

So, you thought the market for reusable bags was saturated? Having found a niche that has yet to be infiltrated, The Green Garmento hopes to help green up dry cleaning.

Introduced last month, The Green Garmento is a garment bag made from non-woven recyclable material that can be used as a duffel bag to transport laundry to the cleaners, or as a suit bag to protect garments on their return journey.

Unlike plastic bags, The Green Garmento ‘breathes’ and doesn’t trap chemicals, meaning garments can be stored in the bags without requiring airing.

The Green Garmento is currently offering its positive associations to dry cleaners (and consumers) at a cost of USD 9.99 per bag for orders of 10 or less, going down to USD 5.05 for quantities of 1000+. The bags are available in six colours, and can be Logos can be printed on the bags. It’s yet another nail in the coffin for single-use plastic bags.

    In Ireland there is a tax for plastic bags, so these inventions are already well established.

    When I buy a suit at my favourite shop in Dublin, I get it in a bag like that. These are pretty handy, because I can use them to transport my suits to dry cleaning.

    I usually buy disposable plastic bags when I bring my laundry to the laundryshop, and this is a waste of money. By using this kind of bags can really help me to save money coz its reusable.

    I agree with Cassy, buying disposable bags is a wasted of money and add’s to the clutter in dump fills that collect all the bags once we throw them out, so it’s no suprise to me that even the cleaners are starting to go green…after all…that’s what they do….CLEAN! so to offer bags that are reusable would not only benefit the earth’s environment but also help the customers save on some serious dough which is what everyone is trying to do right now!
