Neela launches new line of reusable plastic bags

Tag: Polypropylene Material
Neela Products announced today that its line of reusable, recyclable bags is now available for sale on its website www.neelabags.com. Neela bags come in an array of stylish patterns and colors inspired by modern textile designs, and are made out of nonwoven polypropylene - a lightweight and durable material that is both reusable and recyclable. The bags are intended for everyday use and are designed to reduce excess consumption of paper and plastic bags. "When researching our products, we heard from so many people that they would be more inclined to carry reusable bags if they came in attractive patterns and colors and were easy to store," said Carla Manna, co-founder of Neela Products. "Neela bags answer this call - now consumers have an environmentally-friendly alternative that does not require them to sacrifice either style or convenience." The bags are offered in the following three styles, which come in several sizes and patterns, with options such as a self-pouch, zippers, and stabilizers: -- The Neela Market Tote - slightly larger than a paper grocery bag, the Neela Market Tote includes a fold-up version (offered as a single bag or in a pack of five) and a stabilizer version for extra heavy loads. -- The Neela Shopper - a shopping tote that comes in three sizes (small, standard and large) for errand running, everyday shopping and travel. -- The Neela Wine Tote - a beverage carrier that comes in two sizes - small has a single compartment for a wine bottle, large can hold four wine bottles (or bottles of similar size). "Grabbing a paper or plastic bag every time we make a purchase has become second nature to Americans - the average person consumes nearly 1000 bags per year!" said Renee Fischer, co-founder of Neela Products. "Unfortunately, 96% of these bags end up in landfills or polluting our lakes and rivers. We hope that by offering a fun, appealing alternative, we can encourage people to change these consumption patterns." In addition to the consumer line of bags available on its website, Neela also has a wholesale business for companies that want to offer branded reusable, recyclable bags to their customers. Companies can select from standard options and simply add their logo to the bag, or they can work with Neela's design team to create an entirely customized solution. "Consumers tend to reuse nonwoven bags far more often than traditional paper or plastic bags - which means Neela bags offer retailers a fantastic means of increased brand exposure while doing something good for the environment," added Fischer.
