Carrier bag waste
The UK produces more than 10 billion carrier bags each year! These would stretch to the moon and back five times if laid out end-to-end!
100,000 tonnes of plastic bags are thrown away each year - that’s the same weight as 70,000 cars! Bags can take over a 100 years to rot!
At Joshua’s we want to help make a difference and have decided to reduce the number of carrier bags offered to customers. Please help us by reusing your bags or considering if you really need to use one. We have always kept a supply of cardboard boxes by the tills, which customers can use and then recycle. Otherwise why not purchase one of our great, long lasting, jute cotton, bio-degradable bags, at only £3.95 each?
