Reusable Hemp Bags
A solution by La Salle URL submitted to Reducing the plastic material!
In order to reduce the use of plastic bags in online retail operations, the idea is to use reusable Hemp bags for the picking and delivery of the products through the offering of an Eco-Friendly delivery option. The client will give back the used bags in the next delivery. That way no waste is being created.
One Page Summary
In Portugal there is a big problem with plastic bags, as while a European citizen uses 198 plastic bags per year a Portuguese citizen uses 466 plastic bags every year. Plastic has a low rate of degradation and produces economic, ecological and human negative impacts. That is why to stop the increasing global use of plastic bags, we want to implement a new delivery model based on the use of reusable hemp bags.
The user will have two delivery options: the traditional one, that will be more expensive in order to penalize those who still want to use plastic bags, or the eco-friendly one that will be cheaper and will give long-term discounts.
In the eco-friendly delivery, the person in charge of the delivery will pick up the products with hemp bags, and will bring them to the client's home. There, the client will return the previous hemp bags he/she has from the last delivery.
