This reusable market bag is made from 100% hemp canvas and 100% cotton (the straps). Hemp fabric is one of the oldest textiles used in human history. Records show that hemp fabric was being used over 8,000 years ago in the Middle East and Asia. Today, hemp fabric is one of the most sustainable fabrics available. 

We decided to create a reusable market bag that is biodegradable as a way of replacing plastic shopping bags, while also creating a product that will eventually return to the earth without leaving a trace. Each plastic bag that is thrown away takes around 1,000 years to decompose. Our bag can decompose in under a year and will not harm the environment
