Welkoop, focus on sustainability


Welkoop has just received new carrier bags, and we are pleased to have contributed to their production. With a strong focus on sustainability, recycled plastic bags and reusable shoppers made from recycled PET bottles have been chosen.

Recycled plastic bags

These bags not only convey eco-friendliness in appearance but also in reality. Recycled plastic is easily recognizable by its distinctive look and feel, subtle gray hue, and noticeable grain. The type of material is often indicated at the bottom of the bag, in this case, with the clear text: "This bag is made from recycled plastic."

Recycled plastic bags are not only sturdy and water-resistant but also contribute to a better environment as they can often be reused. Even if they are damaged, they are recyclable again—a win-win situation for humans and animals!

Reusable PET shoppers

Our reusable bags, made from PET bottles, are a smart choice. Despite the deposit on PET bottles in the Netherlands, many plastic bottles still end up in general waste. In some countries, like France, plastic bottles are collected separately and recycled, resulting in products like RPET shoppers.

These RPET shoppers are versatile and ideal as shopping bags, featuring strong, webbing-woven handles for extra carrying comfort. Welkoop's focus on animals and gardening is clearly visible on these bags through beautiful full-color images.
